…blue trees
…would you love me if my trees were blue-
if the leaves wore a shade of purple after 6pm-
would you want me if i cried each time you left, and text wyd when you walked out the door-
can i want you in the most healthiest obsessive way?
day after day after day-
and can you want me the same?
but first we must pray for the find-
but first we must say hello-
but first you must ask for the kiss-
but first i must allow it-
my mysterious mold of God-
planet of my planet, where are you?
no hand navigates against me, until i find you-
this here black woman of many needs-
oh where are you?
come send me to a freedom i’ve yet to find-
ill send you there too-
but first we must abide by God-
but first our spirits must align-
but first you must share your rib with me-
so your last name can flow into mine-
then i can handle dat flesh in the most healthiest obsessive way-
you down?
would you love me if my sun was green, or i saw it that way-
or if i told you i saw specs of gold on the moon at 2am?
would my indifference deter you-
or would you paint me pictures of blue trees wearing leaves with a touch of purple, underneath a green sun?
would you do that for me?
oh i hope you do-
oh i hope you do-
come to me.
