Two Nights

For best experience, listen to my music while reading this poem.

...

I took a trip to my ex's house, to see if I missed him

But deep down inside, I knew it was just a whim

My alter ego was kickin' in, tryna mess with my head

But I packed my pride and shelved my libido instead

I stopped my searchin', realized it's me that I'm hurtin'

And there's no room for doubt, my heart needs some assertin'

I promised myself I'd stay strong, and not ask for his help

I don't need nobody else, I'll do it myself

Just 'cause I'm afraid of lovin', don't mean I don't wanna try

I'm runnin' circles with no shame, but I won't lie

It's lonely comin' home to nothin', it's time to make a change

To find the love that I deserve, and break away from this strange

So I hit the streets, emotional baggage in tow

Asked a man for help, and he had a wisdom to bestow

He held my hand, and asked where this weight was from

I told him it's from cheap love, and the battles I've won

Little did I know, he was a veteran of love

And he'd help me find my way, like a guiding dove

We chased up the South with some cherry wine

It's lookin' like there's somethin' in the air tonight, a love so divine

I promised myself I'd stay strong, and not ask for his help

But with him, I found a love I never knew I felt

I'm no longer runnin' circles with no shame

I've found my way, and it's time to stake my claim

Just 'cause I was afraid of lovin', didn't mean I couldn't try

I found the love that I deserved, and now I'll never say goodbye

No more comin' home to nothin', my heart is finally full

I've found a love that's true and pure, and it's all because I was bold.
