A Misunderstood Book
I'm like a book
I want to be touched and
understood.
I want your arms wrap around my
coco butter skin,
whispering words that send my
heart to promise land.
feeding me nothing but lies;
making me feel unsure
about you and i, i want you to relate
and feel me in every page, in every
desirable way.
But you do not comprehend!
That love is blind and your wasting time,
so babe elevate your mind and read
throughout the lines.
That my cover is not your punching bag
but you do know you can't read what
you do not understand.
