You Told Me But I Showed You

by Blacklatina


You told me…but i showed you..

you told me that you would pattern the stars to build me a pedestal
my glory as our woman for all the world to see...
i showed you that my God was my platform...my stage...
my faith in him gave ME the vision to see...

That...

when you told me that I was your everything... your queen ... 
your beginning...
your end...
i showed you that if you only began with me that you weren`t complete enough
to be my balance... my equal... my partner after the song ends in this love dance; and

Since...

you told me that you would be the substenance I would feed upon 
when my lustful appetite bottomed out in a frenzy of want...
i showed you that in your efforts...of making love to my body...my soul...
the negligence to the fulfillment of my mind left me hungering for more...

Because...

you told me that you would be MAN enough to take care of the WOMAN that i am...
the shelter in my storm...as long as the cover was built YOUR way...
i showed you that in your inability to let me be...me

you had no idea who you were...
