Marcquiese Burrell Poems

Baby, I can't do this anymore
leave my heart
wounded and so very scared
I would rather be alone
...

Broken picture, had to ditch ya
I've noticed the signs,
you've wasted my time
You're so funny,
...

I packed your things and you can go
on a long vacation to hell, die slow
You toyed with me too many times to count
I've reached the breaking point, just know
...

Maybe, I should walk right out the door
Sometimes I'm not ever really even sure
A new day dawns and there's a new issue
When I only want no one other than you
...

An open book,
you study this,
I've made you look
You taking notice
...

This isn't no phase
It ceases to amaze
There is no war or conflict
Melanin so rich with skin so smooth
...

Where is the love?
What has happened to mankind?
The action defines terror in these times
I hear people keep saying, 'black lives matter'
...

I'm not changing, Not the way you want me
I'm not changing, I'll stay as I should be
I won't follow the program
So just take me as I am
...

When I think of love
I think of a heart expanding
Expanding so wide that it takes the good with the bad
and that's what comes when you feel something strong
...

That's the first steps to take
when two hearts travel a road to break
the chains are loosened
no longer bound
...
