What You Wanted

And just when I thought the lights
had gone out blinding became of your shine
as my hands began shielding the peripheral
leaving me asking the question,
was it a mistake of mine
to think before reacting?
Woman you kept me laughing
serious I was taking you
though patience with you
at the same time I was practicing
maintaining before resorting to verbal action
negative thoughts I fought and battled them
before letting you get underneath my skin
to break my heart just because your heart
had been broken

your intellect massaging my intellect
easing the intensity to respond
allowing my thoughts of tomorrow
to be more than patient,
uncritical as you are radiant
the only word to describe you
at this time as my eyes
still have yet to witness
the way and number of times
you blink hoping to
understand your actions by
