Not In The Same Way I Do Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

Honey bits shared in the dark are sweeter
Wrong actions with good intent are easier to pardon
The will of a heart embroiled in passion is stronger
It's just that you don't see it better than I do

My heart will stop here and let my mind take over
I have let my foot trip and I fell deeper than I thought right
You hold my heart on your palm and toss it right and over
Innocently I came to the cross right where you shed me open

Now my eyes are wide open, I let the light come in
I trust you feel something for me but just not the way I do for you
Playing the fool better than nobody else can yet now tables turn
Laid my emotions flat at your love I was subdued like a cub at the lioness foot

I know now what you feel for me, just not the way possible
Not the way I had desperately hoped it would turn and weave out
We are better off distant and quiet than close and confused, simply entangled
It's like the ceasing of a fever that ravaged through my heart like a forest fire
