Twisted resistance or the ultimate truth
She thought that getting under him would take the weight off her back
She thought that the view on top of him would remind her of sunsets
A beautiful ending when he was finished
What she took as love showered over her
Boosting her ego
Her desire for love was never at the right amount
Her drive just heightened her body count
The only time he held tight was when he had a handful of her hair
For she had no limitations
And his closeness was the only way she’d let him take her there
& the only time she felt alive was when she wished you were there
Not even her imagination
Could embrace her for this impact
That even a sunset on a high rise couldn't take that look out of her eyes
It was a moment of truth
How beautiful a reflection
With no second guessing
That her reality was in her view
That morning she cut her hair and cut ties with anyone that ever held her back
Her sunset had a beautiful ending
And the blaze of its color
Reminded her she was gold
