Harlem

Summer wasn’t sunny, it was canceled

Leather seats sucked me in while I thought about my dreams

The night sky whispered my life

My heart ripped apart and ended on love

My hope was fighting with my faith

And then for 72 hours, I shut down

May was like a seesaw you lifted me up and down

You labeled yourself in bloody red letters that read canceled

You put a strain on my body and I wanted to call it love

What its hands and feet grew but told life

It wasn’t going to complete, it was only dreams

What if he or she grew like a seed of faith

April slapped me in the face and washed away this faith

She knew I didn’t see you coming so she watered you down

She drowned you with words and cancellation

In hopes that I wouldn’t run to a new first love

She closed my eyes and hypnotized my life

And showed me you as a destruction in my dreams

In the clouds of March, we rode on a green light in a dream

I formed with you in a seed that moved mountains

My doubt and second-guessing couldn’t take us down

I couldn’t read that you were canceled

But drips of the hot sun kept adding more days of growth to your love

And nature could foretell us together for life

Arrows and hearts in the month of love didn’t matter to my life

But your arms were always a part of my daydreams

Seeing you were like check-up's to my health, an appointment never canceled

Driving highways, streets, and never slowing down

Even at the church house, I sprinkled blessings to your unknown faith

But I never thought about your mistaken, unspoken love

Hello to the imagination of you that I created because of love

He created you out of fear to run you out of his life

I knew you were never formed in me only in his dreams

He planned you out of fear and doubt

Not believing that every test I took was negative

But IF it was the Lord’s will for you to form in me, you couldn't be canceled

The heavens would have canceled any destruction upon you

Your dreams would have aligned with my life

And my faith would have moved any mountain standing in our way

The thoughts of you put him in a state of mental uneasiness

but my thoughts of you gave me peace
