The Ending

Will it be a conclusion like no other

the plot twist being You breaking my heart

never seeing me as your lover

Will it end dramatically with me walking into the sunset

My heart cursing at my ribs:

“I thought your job was to keep me covered!”

I wonder why it started

When the ending was just as quick

Now my brain raged at my lungs for the lack of oxygen

“Nigga why we moving so quick? “

Its not even a race yet we compete for first place.

Maybe it was just us

Our beautifully carved portrait now dusted and in ruins

Our own selfish desires pulling us apart

Your nervous tongue that complicated the definition of trust with lust.

Now its just a matter of time

Who knows how it will end
