Sunshineミ✰

Sunshine
Slow to rise
Wish you’d
Come a little closer,
Admire from afar
Missing your warmth.
Or time together is set,
Your light guides me
Your smile enraptures,
Impossible to capture
True beauty on film.
Forgive you for the glare
Superstar!
So used to the stares,
How is it that you burn
Brightest at night
Deep in the depths
Of my mind —
Truly unforgettable

Cupid’s Arrow

Wanted my forever thing back
Cupid caught me with the ace
Gotta admit I —
Missed the smile up on ya face
What you been up to?
Didn’t mean to complicate

Confession!
I never quite cared about love
Who cares about flowers,
Romantic words, all the above
Baby, I been survivin'
Tryna focus on me

Now trapped,
Head full of sweet melodies
I need you grovelin’
Like down on your knees
Know that you’re the type
That promises to please

Show me something
That makes me believe
In fairy tales
I’m thinkin’
The birds and the bees
I’m talkin’
Butterflies —
Legs trembling
Lift me up please!
Let’s take it to new heights
We only dreamt we could reach

Rose from Concrete ⚘

Newark born and raised,
feet pounding concrete
Thought that I could save self
from the city that made me

Flew the nest, turns out
I’m the one who never sleeps.
Saw the four train riding by,
was wishing it would derail me

Found the light in the darkness
rose higher than anticipated
never dreamt I would pursue
pray my thorns don’t deter
the passions that consume

Tripping into a new chapter
I ask that you watch your step
grew from a proverbial crack
joyful to be welcomed back
