Need to Love Me to Love You
Sometimes it’s more painful to stay and watch someone you love who had so much light just dim out and fade away
It's ’s the reminder that they once danced
But no longer footprints made with a joyous prance
The bed is molded by a body in the shape of defeat
Where feet once embarked upon miles of opportunity
Now lay movement free in rivers of tears that drown what’s no longer here
Cleansing of the inner Devine
Like an abolishment of what’s wrong in our eyes of blurry fright
Yet we need not forget to seek light in the darkest of holes
Creating a space allowing faith rays to brighten your soul
Uncovering corners of black deceit
Removing the spirit of fear and insanity
There is no vacancy for them here
You can cast away spirits if they show no mercy and bring you fear
You have the power
But you have to know
You have to be aware when to hold on and when to let go
It starts with us
I can’t love you more than I do me if I can’t even see reasons I am worthy of loving you
Let alone me
Every hair was made with care
Like every crack is not a mistake
Every bit of you is whole
We can't save another unless we have a pure soul
With intentions of love for thy neighbor and self
But love thyself first, or you can't love anyone else
