Back To Me

by Kami Holt

God didn't answer your prayers, only for you to turn around and doubt his blessings. He was my brother for life.

“Don’t bring yo’ pretty ass to the door dressed like that no more! You got me fucked up!”

“I’m sure you’ll be out of that dress before the night is over,” he whispered in my ear.

“Ohhh, this feels good,” I moaned, taking a big whiff of it because it smelled like laundry detergent. “I see you still like to sniff things like a little creep,”

“Keep it up, and you’re little butt gone be pregnant, if you aren’t already. That ass gettin’ fatter, that pussy gettin’ juicier, and your fast tail can’t stay off this dick to save your life. I think my son gon’ be here within the year.”

“You don’t have to do a damn thing to be worthy of love. You do that shit just by breathin’.

You bring me peace in my mind. You shine a light on the darkest parts of my soul.

“Don’t like these notes and runs fool you. I’ll kill all them niggas then sing “Amazing Grace” at their funeral. You got the right one, lil baby.”

“She’s my safe place. The place that I escape to when I need to be refilled. She speaks life into me when I don’t have enough in me to do it for myself. She prays for me when I’m sleeping at night and speaks words of affirmations to me when I wake up.”

“I’m only calling it like I see it. You’re the prettiest girl in MY world. I’m glad you brought yo’ pretty ass back to me. Ain’t no Rule without his Dove.”
