Forbidden Love

Baby I have a confession to make
I want you to sit down 'cause this is hard to take, but
Every day I walk out that door
And into the waiting arms of another's warm
Soft embrace
Like Jagged Edge he keeps me laced
We've experienced a lot throughout these years
I never meant to cause you tears
I know you'll be disappointed in me, but
His presence seems to give my life longevity
He's taken me around the world
He's shown me off like I'm his girl
You see
I'm having a love affair with words
I wake up in the morning and wonder what he'll have waiting for me
A bouquet of rhetoric roses
A box of chocolate-covered metaphors
Maybe a mental massage
With him there is never a dull moment
Sometimes he likes to tease me with gentle kisses on my subconscious
Or little nibbles on my imagination
Ooo. . .but when he deep strokes my creativity
That’s when I know he truly loves me
I had plenty of choices but most didn’t last
I dated sports, but every day I’d find him cheating on me
Music was verbally abusive, calling me bitches & hoes
So a relationship with words was the logical way to go
He lets me play Janet and stay in control
For the most part I run the show
But when he has something he needs me to know
He puts it out there with no hesitation
Treats me like my namesake
Love him so much I even take
Pieces of him to work with me
I love it when he’s put together
He’s such a great dresser
So call me a liar or a cheat, but first call me a poet
And these words ensure that you and everyone else knows it
