Incubus
When I thought of this title I was thinking more along the lines of the demon in male form from mythology who traditionally, lies upon female sleepers, in order to have sex with them. Specifically in religious traditions when repeated intercourse with an incubus results in the deterioration of health, or even death. But then I thought about the band Incubus. I may look like a neo-soul-bluesy-R&B-old school hip hop kind of gal ( and I am) but underneath all those I like to rock it out (holding up the universal bull sign for WHOOO!!!!). Incubus (the band, not the demon) is awesome. I still listen the album Morning View. In fact, to go along with the theme of this post…
I have no introduction for this particular ranting but I needed to put it down.
You arranged letters
To bypass the barriers
Built to keep you at bay
Through five words
Relayed in passing
Seeds have been planted
And taken root
Watered by reflection
Photosynthesized by time
To bloom into revelation
In our time together
I never felt
Cared for
Nurtured
Needed
Or loved
You desired me
Craved me
Those
I felt
You
Savored me
Devoured me
Those
I experienced
You know me
And knowing
I think
You’re a liar
And a coward
Why
Would I
Believe
Anything
Sprouted
From you mouth
Our friendship
Was a lie
Our intimate moments
weren’t real
I always liked to play pretend
I understand now
I went too far into my head
Thinking something was real
When it wasn’t
I won’t
Be making
That mistake
Again
