YOU fill my cup halfway,
I have to give YOU more credit,
Allowing YOU the oblivious,
When I know, YOU know it all,
YOU know…it’s obvious,
I thought…
I need to believe YOU,
I’m afraid YOU don’t believe me,
“You suck,” was all YOU could reply,
“I didn’t surprise YOU,” was my reply,
What we have is a mess,
A little too REAL,
The future…not promised,
Now…what it is,
My heart reserved, cautious,
YOUr heart…not yet mine,
Little by little we step,
All for disjointed goals,
YOUr face stains my memories,
My words stain YOUr brain,
It has…
My heart…YOUrs…possibly,
YOUrs…we’ll see.
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
Right on my man!
