Between you and I stands the truth
Something that you and I know exists,
Yet you have built your lies in denying me my existence
You push me away,
I stumble and fall into a closet
Deeper into a life built on your lies.
Between you and I stands the truth
15 was the number that you gave them
15 was the number I knew I could also be given
15 was because of love,
15 brought pain and anguish to the soul yet so innocent,
Deeper was the pain built on your lies.
Between you and I stands the truth
I am just but a black body at the mercy of your plunder,
Ready to be bruised and broken down into pieces,
To be raped, used and discarded at your will
And yet here I am still stuck in this toxicity
Deeper was the bond built on your lies.
Between you and I stands the truth,
I am in need of justice but your ego will never allow,
my tears to dry.
In my helplessness should I seek retribution?
Should I remind you that my black body was never yours,
to rape, use and discard at your will?
Deeper is the lie that built our relationship
Between you and I stands the truth,
My death will not be yours to celebrate,
My breath will not utter your praises
And my plundered black body was never yours in the first place,
But know for sure, before my death and my last breath
I will take my retribution and break away from this toxicity
Deeper has been the threats built on lies that ruined my life.
