A True Story
I Still Love You
By: Alexis Kenyatta Ellis
When you see his face
Love is still there
Spending so many days with him
Time will always spare.
The bond is always present
Inside the secret place
The heart beats loud and heavy
When you touch him or feel his embrace.
Love is more than caresses
More than pursuit and chase
Love is speech and action
A melody in each phrase.
Love can swell your mind
You never eat a morsel
You have butterflies in your stomach
Their voice make you tremble.
Sweetly you kiss them
You lie down safe in their arms
Talking or listening to music
The magic of his charm.
All the while never knowing
If the stardust will last for you two
Because someone else waits in the wings,
That has eyes for her heart as you do.
So, lady who do you choose?
How did you get caught between two loves?
Letting your heart lead you,
The deceitful one of them all.
For the heart likes Cupid’s arrow
Whenever there is a bow plunged
The eyes and head will follow
Into a snare, a trap you are thrown.
But you have to get your life together
And see who really loves you
Think with your mind
Think with your head
Don’t let love do this to you.
Because love can hurt many parties
It can destroy each case
So lead in the right direction
Even if you have to wait to feel love’s embrace.
Because joy is so much worthwhile
Then constantly starving for love
Real loves gives sustenance
Never hungry, never thirsty.
