Boundaries Poem by Jasmine Brinkley

I let you sweet talk me o0o0 the way you wove words and voiced philosophies
It was actually my fault because I had a selfish need
To fill this yearning void
To rid myself of this burning blue flame lying underneath the surface
Every night sweating but never forgetting that first taste
It was pure temptation
Carnal satisfaction
And hell yes I was askin
All you wanted was my body
But I chose not to make my barriers tough
Not to make my boundaries strong
It still wasn’t enough
All for you to look at me and like me
Hmmph that’s not even what I’m about
Let you hit it and leave?
Man please
That is definitely not me
But I wanted to have fun
That’s what I should have done
Not layed there and let you have your fun
Its funny how they saw everything ain’t for everybody
That’s what I say about you
Because not a single word you uttered to me was true
You just got out of a relationship and you’ve been hurt
It was all a game
To try and get me onto my back
The sex was good I’m not gonna lie
Had em weeping and crying
Actually thought I was dying
And going to heaven
My body trembled and spasmed
Muscles moving underneath taut skin
Shredded over a physique that was close to perfection
A fine caramel brother skin smooth body supple
But believe I’m not complimenting you
Just stating facts
Well I applaud you because you got my life all off track
But not anymore
I resfuse to sit here and think about you a moment longer
I’m leaving and I am so much stronger
So I thank you for making me what I am
Truly I give my gratitude
Without you I might still be weak
Still thinking ordinary men extraoridinary
You just used me
But who would of thought that you would improve me
