I Can'T Believe You Said That! Poem by Marcus McKinley

I learned something about you today

The lips may lie, but the soul rings true
And, in your eyes, I see the truth
your puckered lips, offering peace

so I took…

a closer look into your soul, I got
a desire for burning passion, red hot
the sorrow of your broken dream
understanding that, what you said
you did not mean…

your heart sunk, desperately
with the realization of losing me
sadness… in your eyes, I see

so I took…

a moment, to trace the lines of your face
letting you know you’re the one for me
then puckered my lips to release
your beautiful soul from its misery

allow your dreams to live carefree
display your souls veracity
when life is striding fretfully

be mindful of the things you say
