Edge of Desire

Do you know what its like to sit idle, where you are virtually unwanted and loved and/or cared for IMproperly,


all because you are scared to be forgotten ? Because to be forgotten means you made NO impact.....


"Young and full of running
tell me where is that taking me?
just a great figure eight
or a tiny infinity?
love is really nothing
but a dream that keeps waking me
for all of my trying
we still end up dying
how can it be?

don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
'cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see


I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe

there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me


so young and full of running
all the way to the edge of desire
steady my breathing
silently screaming
I have to have you now

wired and I'm tired
think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
and find me on yours

don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

I'm embarrassed by how much volume these song lyrics speak on my life. But it is whatever it is. <3

A Long Drawn Out Ramble of a Titan: FUCKYOULOVE #NiggaNooses


Today’s blog track:
 “I'm feeling restless in the morning
Composure screwed up on the floor
I'm such a mess when you ignore me
You only leave me needing more

Return home, alone
Put on, a sad song
There's a want in me, that won't say no

Well, we all wanna be loved
We all wanna be loved
Loved,
We wanna be loved

But when your pride has all been spent
It's the beginning of the end
And it's sad but it is true
You put your own head in a noose
When you love somebody

~Daley, #WhenYouLoveSomebody

What?
Who?

Where does today want to be taken in the blogosphere world that has become my autobiography? I can say I am still wanting to blog less and less about the DJ dude, but I see I am getting more comfortable with not keeping his identity under lock-n-key for those who may not know who he is….i think that is due in part to me wishing I had of blasted his lies and philandering on social media in the same manner of which I found out that he was some other chick’s BAE?  

Woooosah, every time I see and/or type that word, I feel like a part of me blows up into smithereens. I’ve learned a lot about my forgiveness over the years. I am the type that will forgive, but I will also find it hard to REMEMBER that one has been forgiven.  So ones trespassing might replay in my mind repeatedly, before I fully grasp ahold of the concept of LETTING GO. Letting go starts in the mind first. It does NOT  start by saying “I forgive.” It starts by embodying that forgiveness and understanding that forgiveness is for YOUR self preservation...not for their clear conscious; some people should NEVER have a clear conscious.  Oh sir DJ, will I ever truly forgive you?
I will.

But I don’t know how long this shit will continue to drag chalkboard nails across my heart.  He made me feel inadequate. Not enough. Not cute enough. Smart enough. Cool enough, understanding enough, he made me question me more than I was prepared to, in a time when I was really thinking I was coming full circle into the woman I strive to be. He put the Bruised Muse on me and poured me a teaspoon of infatuation from him to me...It wasn’t all his fault. I played a huge role in this demise. But he was a soul sucker. And there were MANY warnings that told me so.....the eggs....flat tires....etc, etc....shit that i didn't do but would have went to war FOR him about....to think that i ended up right next to these unknown female faces....i bet he talked about me to BAE the same way he did those other women to me. Lol. #SoulSuckers

I gave too much, loved too hard and too quick and I saw it all coming. I WANTED to love him, so I did. I did NOTHING to stop it. I don’t know why my energy was pulled so closely to his. I literally felt PULLED into him....when we were in the same room, i felt like my DNA was frazzled until i got next to him. I used to have to force myself to stay seated because excitement was jumping inside of me like beans ....i wanted to hang on him, around him, i just wanted to make him smile and vice versa....it worked for a minute...we were drawn to each other....i will never think differently. I know what was there....and so does he. But he shut it down....i was the one that ignored that.   I don’t know why I wanted HIM so badly.  The more certain weeknights found us frolicking in a parking lot and talking about random shit until the wee hours of the morning as if neither of us had a job to go to the next day, the more I saw me in his eyes. I don’t think I was ever really there tho. It was a mirage, that I created.

If the nigga had have tried to be honest at any of the many opportunities that presented itself, we probably would have remained cool. If he hadn’t have used me with a niggacries about the struggle to stay afloat, if he hadn’t have puppet stringed me along, knowing all too well about how I felt and what I was hoping for, then we could have remained cool.  As it stands today, if I walked past him and he needed a glass of water to stay alive and I knew it, I would drink a tall, cold bottle of Ice Mountain in front of his face…..and walk away.
And that is me being honest.

* shrug * Right or wrong,  it’s exactly what I would do. Wait-
I’d like to add that I would toss some filler flowers on top of his dying soon-to-be corpse.
That’s brutal right? I know. * more shrugs *

I also know that any of the many times my instinct was begging to me to leave that shit alone, if I had have listened, I would be way better off. I know if any of the times I told my girlfriends that I knew I needed to leave him alone, I actually did, I wouldn't be here. If I had have let go when it seemed like he was losing interest, I would not fucking be here.  But, a woman who WANTS a man to like her and/or love her,  can sometimes make that death-to-emotions choice to listen to his words and ignore his actions because his words are more conducive of that which she wants to hear.

Dumb ass grown ass woman=
RECIPE FOR DISASTER.

And now, I am angry at ALL of them.  Every last one of these niggas that has crossed my life and left me on the stake burning in love, now are subconsciously receiving the hatred for them that I have ALWAYS seemed to have amazing strength of control over.

As I continue to try to state through these blogs for your reading and my healing, I ALLOWED A LOT OF SHIT TO HAPPEN.  That doesn't make it right, that doesn't mean it should have happened, but it does mean that I am woman with a powerful instinct that I have chosen to ignore a record breaking amount of times in 35 years and today, it has gotten me right here. …..i had a water leak in my new home when i first moved in (I moved in, in Jan)…..the gas/water company has attempted to rearrange my life and my money because of it. My gas bill topped and went over $1K because of it and most of it was water. .every since then, in addition to trying to pay regular priced bills, have a smile here and there and trying to keep my sanity, I’ve found myself struggling……which sucks because I worked crazy hard to get all my bills down low and it was working. I was in a good financial space.  Now, I’m depleted 

……I don’t say that to share my business at all. ….its embarrassing…..even though I feel as though it wasn't my fault (and God has blessed me with a couple of adjustments/credits), I'M the one that has to clean this fucking mess up. I’m  the one that has to find the money, that has to find the help/assistance. I can’t roll over and say to baby, ‘what we gonna do’ ??  After all this compromising of myself, my wants and desires and the things I feel as though I deserve, after all this loving and fucking, I stand in the middle of a sea of bullshit regarding this one bill that is making it harder to pay my others and I can’t look at my better half and say ‘let’s do some stress relief fucking’ or 'we in it together right" ....

I can’t look at my left hand and say, I know its gonna be ok because my husband is not gonna let us fall.  I can’t look to my guy and say baby can I come stay with you while they turn off my water and I figure out a way to recover. I can’t do shit but twiddle my thumbs until I get an answer, created solely by me. I bring this us because yesterday and again this morning, I found myself unloading a ship full of tears. I cried and cried purely out of frustrations..... and when the CSR at the gas company asked me “how many in the house”, the resonating sound of my answer made a tearful attempt at taking me out of my semi-professionalism. ONE. I wanted to say ONE FOR LIFE MA'AM.... Damn if I ain't glad I can’t and don’t have kids.  Shit would be THICK. 

 I cried out of anger, hurt, tiredness.  I cried because i wanna vomit on top of the repetitive advice of “girl just be happy with you”……lets be for real….i AM happy with ME….as I may have stated before, I know how to be me and how to be alone. I know how to date myself, hang out with myself and enjoy ME TIME. ….that has honestly never been much of a problem for me because I’m an only child. Being alone is a lifestyle.  But at 35, I just wish I could be in the company sometimes of a like minded individual who makes me laugh.  And fucks me right….Yes, I said that and you know why ??? Because I like to.

Straight up. If anyone reading this thinks less of me because of that, then stop fucking reading * shrug* ….i like sex…no I don’t want it with just anyone, I don’t want to share energies and trade bodies with just anyone…..but to have someone who pleases my mind and body would really help mellow me out a bit.  But that’s not my  truth and most of these tainted, diseased up niggas won’t even take a free Walgreens AIDS test, so here the I am. Masturbating in between my tears of fatigue.  Sometimes I wonder how it is I am not ‘interesting enough’. …..

I was in a relationship for seven years. Back and forth, in and out foolery.  Me and him are still friends today.  I actually consider him my ‘homie’ but for the fact that he still loves me and would probably like to get back with me but that will NOT happen....Nah…..we can be cool, but nah….nope and then, no thanks.  I remember one of the things that used to make me double think myself as a woman was how it seemed that I could inspire the world around me but the man that I was in a relationship was not inspired by ANYTHING I said or did. No shows at my shows, no shows at the moments that meant the world to me. No one in the audience was proud of me and wanted to take me home and fuck me until made a poem in his ear as opposed to regular name calling.  No one told their friends ‘my girl is the shit on the mic’. …..i was like a ghost…..i would leave shows and go home and wonder how come my words on paper didn't translate into my relationship.  I wondered how I managed to not get him inspired to travel or use his art (he can draw his ass off) or how I just wasn't inspiring enough  to get engaged in or TO…but it didn’t matter…I knew  in year one he wasn't my husband.
So I tortured myself, perhaps out of habit. #MoreACcountability.

But I wasn’t a princess. I wasn’t drama or problem free, so I honestly hold very little anger to him.  I just couldn’t’ understand our dynamics or purpose.  We were stale seasonings that had lasted beyond our timetable with each other.  I came to understand that when he gave me a tape dispenser shoe for my birthday when I asked for a $125 NY ring from Tiffanys.   Lol. 

All this random babbling about niggas has made me thirsty.

* sips Hi-C and fast fowards*

So the Wednesday before my birthday 2014, i typed to #MuseWeasel that he needed to bag my New York hat up, along with the picture of his son that I had printed on canvas (and that was a story in itself) and drop them off at a safe location. I told him he would not be wearing MY NEW YORK on dates with his new bitch and that he would not be fucking underneath my canvas. I don’t remember ever retrieving gifts. I’m not that type. If I GIVE you something, its yours. I relinquish rights.

And yes, i called her a bitch and i didn't like it, but i honestly couldn't find another description during those blurry moments of communication....

I gave him ME, in each of those gifts. ESP the hat. That hat came from one of the Yankee stores in NY when I had visited there last year.  I handpicked it and surprised him with it because I thought it was pretty dope hat.  I damn near wanted one for myself. The logical thing to do was to get ME a hat, but nah…..my happy wanna love a nigga that don’t love me ass gave HIM my thirty something dollars….aka a hat. O.o

The other day i thought to myself, I want to be with someone who connects with me so strongly that the things I do for him are seen not as THINGS, but as pieces of ME.  I want a connection so dope that I don’t have to explain that THIS is not just a gift: this is Kendria.  Me buying you a hat is one thing; me bringing you a hat back from New York that says New York for the simple reason of I love you, is a piece of me.  To know my love for NY, regardless of whether or not one understands or gets it, is to know that a hat from NY is a love offering.  Don’t accept if you don’t want the woman, the eyes, the hands, the stomach that pouts a bit at the bottom, the feet that get Charlie horses in flats, the smile, the teeth that are crooked, the moist tongue, natural hair, poetry, ramblings, blinks, thoughts, laugh, smiles and inner workings……..just say no.

I am a drug.
And so is man.

And if we are not gonna WILLINGLY get high off of each other together, then WHAT.THE.FUCK. ARE. WE. FUCKING.TALKLING FOR????!!!!!! WHAT ARE THESE TEXTS FOR??? What is the conversation for?  Just keep it real.
We in our 30s…if we not gonna keep it real now, then when ???
Never?

* shrugs ensue* 

You definitely can’t make a person love you.  That’s up to them and their open eyes and welcoming heart. I jumped headfirst into a nigga that had a closed heart that was only willing to be open for this one woman. 

*soundtrack changes*
“say something, I’m giving up on you
I’ll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I’m giving up on you”

Gotdamn.
I honestly don’t know what I’m rambling about this morning in this blog. Just venting I suppose. No one in particular.  But I’ve thought of them in this last struggle of a few days……and here’s what I came up with:

Things I've Done in the Name of Loving the Wrong Niggas:

- had abortions and subsequently lost the right to have children forever (this was all one person…#MuseSlevin….who didn’t want to have kids with me….but we never used protection….because it was more fun to scar my uterus -_- )
-survived and stayed
-compromised myself, my beliefs (I was once upon a time PRO LIFE -_- )
- Gone along for gun dumping
- aided and abetted STUFF
-served lines to the nose (not mine)
- lived with drugs ….while he lived safely elsewhere
- spent money
-lost time
-lost self
-lost identify
-played with suicide
-hid bruises
-accepted the unacceptable
-looked for the eyes of the heart in the head of a dick #MuseWeasel
-tried to buy my way into their heart (if I were gonna be totally honest .. * shrug * …I did this with #MuseWeasel and I KNEW it)
- allowed desperation to show face on my face
-had a threesome (if I were gonna be totally honest… *shrug * Live and learn I suppose)

I’m gonna stop there and its damn near unbelievable to me that I could keep going. O.o   For these reasons and the ones not mentioned, the climax between me and #MuseWeasel and his girl, who he ultimately ended up describing as “someone he always loved, messed up with and never expected to get another chance with but loved her and although he had experienced love since, he had loved no one like her since her”, is what has created this bubble i been living in: part anger, part grief, total comfort lacking…..i almost would respect his love for her if their recreation of the past didn't occur on top of my naked and foolishly unprotected body and love. * shrug * Now I just wish they would both leave my city and let me have it until I leave.  And I never see them.  Sometimes I think I been staying in the house out of fear that I will see them together out somewhere at some point, in this small fucking city, and won’t be able to save me from the moment. IDK how that moment would go. I already have enough on my plate ducking and dodging my ex and his wife.   

This year exposed me to me. IT showed me how much of ME I GIVE, so freely, in the name of hopeful-love.  I give it ALL.  I’ve never known how to hold back …..and over the years, it got increasingly worse.  Up to the dj that turned a mirror on me and basically said “LOOK AT YOURSELF YOU DESPERATE BITCH”

And now here I am.
And all I want is to be left alone. I wouldn't trust my heart to love another if God told me himself that He gave me a new one to start over with. I want love….don’t get me wrong….i do. I want to BE loved…..but I don’t want to GIVE it.

I’ve never shut down like I have this time….i don’t think I've ever shut down. I've always been a hopeless romantic, who despite it all, has remained optimistic about love...even after working at the club for four years (various clubs, various cities)....idk how any woman can leave the strip-club and truly RESPECT men....and that's real. I've seen first hand how disrespectful men are in general....

maybe i should say SOMEMEN -_-  <<looks like semen doesn't it *giggle * 

Trust me when i say the pouring of FUCK EVERYTHING shots are under-exaggerated at bachelor parties. SOME (lol) men truly have no fucking GAF....how did keep the desire (DIEsire) for a man alive after some of the shit i saw AND participated in ???   ….I've never given myself a chance to STOP BELIEVING in possibilities.  Until now……..

And hopefully,
One day in the future, no matter how many days/months/years,
I will return to a portion of that optimism.  But right now, I don’t trust myself to love any of these niggas.  They are objects to me.  Speckles of dust in my eye that I keep rubbing out. Broken muses for half written poems…..they are the music that bursts my eardrums….
They are thorns in my fingernails…..
They are haunting figurines of mistaken identities and audacious  lessons learned repeatedly. They are lifelong loves that will forever live inside of me....because true love never dies.....we just stick it in a different, inaccessible place when that love is proven useless...
hmm...is there a coochie cleanse that will wash away the remnants and memories of these niggas? I should work on that. It will take the dicktation (as Jill Scott so eloquently calls it) and the memories away in one squeeze-n-pee ...too much? * more shrugs* 

...sometimes i wonder who has told who about my blog....what is the thought...what could be said or done? It's my story...my truths...I'm not afraid of me because i have to live with me. Til its over. ......
and that's why i keep myself on mirror check....because no matter how many times i have felt played or gamed, i am still the controller of my own watchtower.....

 i sent that last nigga pictures of me. Yes that is childish and stupid and I've seen what he does with his pictures on IG after it was over (and i cracked the code...i went into TOTAL and unappreciated Inspectress Gadget...got names, addresses, places of work, IG acceptance...he sent me somewhere i had never been)....its pretty disgraceful to say the least, but it wasn't me. -_-  Although, it wasn't her....although, it WAS in ALL of  OUR time frame....lolol, all this pussy-dick playing......we should all be at Bell Flower pulling number tabs ......

That nigga can think what he wants.....and so can his gal. lol...anyone who says 'oh she should be over it by now" is a giggle-giver...they should try standup at Morty's and get a check for the joke....you can't put a time frame or limit on a heart monitor....Esp when you encounter that one person who completely wipes you out.  I WISH it were all so simple....

-but looking back over the years, i can still see the permanent bruise every morning underneath my eye when i put my make up on. It's been there since forever....ten or so years. It was an eye hit so hard that it never went away and sometimes, i think its my eyeliner sweating off. Its not. 
And i'm ok. 
I made it. I didn't die. I didn't keel over or kill myself. I can't have kids but hey, i don't even want them. I don't want THAT responsibility, but it stopped me from fraternizing with babies much. I can't .....I've held ONE baby in the last ten years plus. ....and it was my sistefriend Queen's granddaughter. That 'baby' is now walking, talking and drawing and my sisterfriend is gone. Some things you LIVE with forever....its not about 'healing' as much as it is about finding out how to live with what is life....

I just .....idk....i swear sometimes i think LIFE wants me to kill myself.....straight up. I would NEVER do it tho....but i swear, sometimes i just want to look LIFE in the face and say 'are you trying to make me jump or what ???"  But i ain't going no where. Fuck these niggas. Fuck being hurt....and as my sisterfriend used to say so much, and i tried sooooooo hard to make her STOP saying it, fuck.love.  


*soundtrack changes *
“….hello love
i know your deal
and i know you could get me killed
get me killed
how dare you judge
the ways of lust
when you're the reason i don't trust
fuck you love
fuck you love
HELLO LOVE" 

No one has ever been afraid of losing me.
And that’s ok.
Because now, no one else will have me. But me.
And whomever I decide to start fucking IF that’s what I decide to do…… * shrug *  #TheEnd
#MuseSlevin #MuseWeasel


*final soundtrack change*
Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain
But I know I should get up and get out of it
I gotta keep moving
But here I am lost all up inside my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing.
Can't stop. Can't let go.
But when I wake up,
And one day I will do it,
I have let you go

And everything I went through was beautiful
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
Maybe I, right now, can't see the forest full of trees
So lost behind hurt
But I'm trying everyday exponentially
To move forward
O you know how it feels to be lost?
But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
And I will wake up
It's gonna be beautiful

Down to to my left side (Last cry)
Feeling I could fly (Feeling I could fly)
All day, up high.
Sweeter than the sugar on a cinnamon treat
Or an ice cream
That was me
But I'm feeling like I'm in a nightmare
Fear of loving somebody, everywhere
Oh Lord, I need this confirmation, this affirmation
That when I wake up
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake 

up
Gotta wake 

up *cue alarm clock*

The Threshold Carry: #AmusedBy #MuseHotRod #Muse#20044002

SPLAT.


………and then there was that time that #HotRod, #MuseInmate#20044002, couldn’t get his dick hard.

Let’s break the melodramatic nigga-monotony a bit.

It was summertime. I was about 25 years old. I stayed in some apartments called Arrow Woods. Funny, I drove past these apartments recently and noticed they are in the proverbial “Under New Management” strange space that apartment complex’s often land in, as neighborhoods start to change and in some cases, decline.  They’ve renamed the apartments and it’s a fancy one.  “Flats @Meridian Hills”? Ohok.

*cue cockface *

Ummm….you can add a new manager and a tag a ‘Meridian Hills’ to the end if you want to, but um, that’s always gonna be ArrowWoods, just like Brendan Way will always be Brendan Way and not Cottages of Fall Creek.  Cottages of Fall Creek sounds like bad things don’t happen there. So does Flats at Meridian Hills. Bad things do happen at both these places. When I was living with an ex in Brendan Way, the name hadn’t changed, but complex was headed in a downward spiral, which was a horrific sight because those are some truly spacious and beautiful apartments.  We had a tri-level with the basement.  I had such high hopes for turning that townhome into the place love was located. It ended up being the haven for my suicidal thoughts, but that is a completely different blog, different muse, different apartment name-change situation.
We are talking about ArrowWoods, ehem, Flats @Meridian Hills *giggle*
And about Sir #HotRod.

We went to school together and never knew each other in school. But it was one of those situations where you saw each other enough that you recognized one another as alumni after school ended.  I saw him one day in CVS and we exchanged information. I had always thought him to be a cutie in school and at this time, I was 25, single and free (Arrow Woods was the first stop after I freed myself from the clutches of the Cottages-Brendan Way). So, we started talking and hanging out with each other. I liked him in a ‘Just Cool’ manner. He liked me in a girlfriend manner. He was a good guy, but he was kinda boring to my taste pallet. I was 25, young and carefree and I was fresh out of a horrible relationship and all I wanted to do was go out, have fun and laugh and smile. And that is exactly what I had been doing.  Me and my best friend were staples on the Broad Ripple night life scene….very specifically at The Vogue. I almost think that when we walked in, people knew the party time had officially begun. We would go in, find an area on the stage in the front and dance until the night turned into house lights on.  We’d sweat and drink Corona’s and I would get drunk and dance some more; never allowing anyone to dance WITH me, as I was always dancing in my own world. If someone stepped to me and tried to put his waist-hands around me, I would politely and without eye contact, dance away until the point was made. I would hear the music and see the lights and it was like everyone around me was gone and I was just up there smiling, jamming and showing cleavage. Yeah, I did that.  I was actually having the time of my life so to speak.

But #HotRod had declared he had already done all of that. He was only two years older than me, but I respected that his time for doing those things was up.  He didn’t club, he didn’t really like to go out at all unless it was dinner/movies/etc…..he wasn’t a drinker anymore and didn’t do drugs and didn’t smoke weed. You like how I separated that? ;)   I was fine with his secular-free lifestyle, but for me during that time, he was kinda boring. But I hung out with him sometimes anyway, not really doing much but me smoking and watching tv, us talking about the whatevers of the world. Nothing fancy although I knew he liked me.
One night, he came over. It was a Saturday night, summer time. I admit that I tried to date him. I tried him on me as far as going out to eat and hanging out like we were ‘talking’, but again, I was just bored by him.  On this particular Saturday night, I was on chill mode that weekend and he wanted to come over. I let him. He got there and I started smoking shortly after his arrival. It was pretty early in the evening; maybe around 8/9ish. I don’t even think it was 9pm. 

*WARNING: incoming desire to fit in about to drop*

Now remember, #HotRod did NOT do drugs of ANY kind. Clearly, I had a different type of war on drugs happening. Once I started smoking, he expressed his desire to smoke with me. I reminded him of HIS facts: that he was not a marijuana user. That in fact, it was something he had done before, stopped because he didn’t like how it made him feel.  But on this night, the young man who had taken a special liking to me and could probably tell that I didn’t like him in the same way, wanted to fit in with me. Just my opinion.  He wanted to be ‘down’ with me. I can’t help but think that he just wanted to see if smoking that blunt would make me take to him differently. It wouldn’t have done that. But it DEFINITELY would end up aiding my like, or lack thereof, of him.

Still, he insisted I pass to him. Hey, he’s an adult. He knew what weed did to him better than I did and if he says he wants it,  * shrug *  So I passed it. We went back and forth a few times until he tapped out. Weed in a funny drug. If you are sitting down and haven’t smoked in a while, one of two things can happen:

1) You will get real high, real quick and know when to say when.
OR
2) sitting down becomes a smoke screen and you keep smoking and passing because you don’t realize exactly how high you really got and how quick.

I’ve experienced both. The latter is the tough mudder. If you don’t realize how high you are, then you will keep smoking. I was the type that would stop smoking after I got high (preservation of product).  But if you don’t know where you are at on the high-scale, you might stand up one blunt later and fall into a rabbit hole you weren’t looking for.
#HotRod fell into the rabbit hole.

….well, er…., uh, actually, * giggle* , he never fell into a hole at all.
So he eventually stopped his portion of the rotation. It was dark in the living room, as I only had it lit by the television. I had cable at the time and remember the tv being on BET.  In his highness, #HotRod found the freedom to go for it.  He moved into kiss me and in the moment, I didn’t reject. I ignored my not-the-same-kinda-like for him and his bald spot that my bestie had pointed out several times before and obliged his advances. My drought had been real at the point anyway, so I figured, what the hell. * shrug*  We kissed and fore-played around a little bit on the couch. It was the first time we did this. Again, the entire apartment was illuminated only by the living room television.  So it got heated.
It was time to stand up, separately and walk into the bedroom. ..as individuals.
And this is thus begins the rabbit hole detour.
 There was a hallway from my living room to the only bedroom I had in the back. The hallway wasn’t long so to speak, but it was enough to be a hallway. Plus, my living room and dining room were onc massive room, so from the area where the couch was located to the backroom and bed, it was a walk long enough to be miserable if situations allowed misery to exist.

They did.
Exist.
The Situation DID allow misery to exist.

Remember, #HotRod liked me. I think he wanted to impress me that night. So he smoked the weed to show me he could still get down if he wanted to.  And then, he wanted to carry me to the threshold to make our first time having sex be as close to a fantasy as possible. 

* Question marks ensue *

So he tried to carry me.  Now, allow me to note that he NEVER gave up on this mission.  He did, successfully (term used loosely), carry me from the couch to the bed. It was scary, miserable and I ain’t like it. I think I’ve been picked up maybe three or four times in the ten years since then. I don’t like to be picked up because of that. LOL! There is something to be said about being off your feet and scared that at any moment, you might be on your ass, against your own will/choices. I’m not a heavy girl, but I’m thick enough that I always feel umcomforable when men who are not body builders try to pick me up. Its foolish…..why I even participated in this stunt baffles me and sets the tone for what else was to come….or not cum? IDK how much #HotRod weighed, but he was NOT a muscle man. He wasn’t a skin-n-bone, Whiz Khalifa type either, but um, he should have left this shit alone. #JustSayNo

#HotRod carried, stumbled, struggled and flip-flopped his way through carrying me to the back. My feet were hanging off one end of his arms and I’m almost positive that they almost hit the wall as he carried me towards the hallway. He started off trying to kiss n carry, but quickly realized we would both be seized by the Fall if that were to continue. The entire hot air balloon ride lasted less than a couple of minutes, but it felt like forever. It felt like I would fall. I expected to fall. He was high, I was high but I smoked enough on a normal basis to be a conscious high person.  There was nothing I could do and blame on ‘being high.’  I was pretty much still aware of my surroundings and decisions.  But this was one good time I would have preferred for the room to start spinning and for things to bounce up and down uncontrollably because maybe this field trip would make more sense?

 I wondered if he knew he was struggling, which I think he did because I think it’s why we didn’t just stop that farce on the way to the bedroom. Pride.Men.Egos…..But whatever.

By the time we got to the bedroom, I breathed a sigh of release after landing safely on the bed and finally out of the arms that I vowed to never allow myself to be propped up in like such again. O.o

Back to foreplay again. This threshold carry-debacle had traded his hard on for frustration. So we laid there, kissed and undressed and stuff and I fell back into the zone and stuffed that memory into the repressed files. There we were…naked, laying and ready.
 And then,

Nothing.
-_-  …..his dick wasn’t hard. After all that mouth dancing and touching, his dick still could have been poured from a dairy queen fountain and called a soft serve cone….

But his ego wasn’t about to give up so easy.  So for the next, idk, 30-45 minutes, we were in the bed working on his dick. None of this work included my lips. It was all handled by his hand and that illustrious ugly jacking motion men do to increase the blood flow down there. Nothing was working. We were kissing, touching, all that jazz. Nothing.

*For the first five minutes – I thought there was something that could be salvaged there. I was still consciously apart of the making out. I was high.

*For the next ten or so minutes – I started to think it was me. Did I stink ? No I was sure I didn’t stink. I stay in the shower just cause I love it and being disease free helps maintain the clean. What was wrong with me? Was I really being dick-rejected? Good grief…my high was lowering….

For all the time afterwards – I lost my high….had been requested to change positions many times and obliged. I think at some point I just wanted to see wtf the outcome COULD possibly be.  I had gone dry, lost my high and was laying on my stomach thinking about calling my best friend Gabby and how hard she would be laughing as I recalled this situation to her.  From there, I got hungry.  Yup, the munchies kicked in and he was still back there jacking and touching and staring. I had started to clench up, legs were welded together, the river was now a Mojave.  It was pure Tom Foolery.

The moment had long passed. I had started playing with my fingernails and trying to think of what I was gonna cook. I remembered I had chicken tenders in my fridge and started picturing myself frying up some quick tenders and how great they would be with the ranch off to the side and perhaps a simple veggie and some mac n cheese.  Yeah, that was perfect…..

And yes, he was STILL back there, jacking and looking and kissing…..there were a couple of times when he sorta got hard-ish and tried to hurry and assume the position but in the seconds that passed, it went back down. He would keep saying stuff like ‘I knew I shouldn’t have smoked that weed’

*** blink blink***  Oh!

Of course it’s the weed. YOU DON”T EVEN SMOKE !!!! SMH….
30-45 minutes later and long after I had mentally given up on this challenge, I got up. I quit playing the game I was really no longer involved in and jumped up, threw on my sarong and a little shirt and told him as I was walking out of the bedroom that I was hungry and was about to make me something to eat. I wasn’t really frustrated with him, I was just irritated. I thought he should have given up a long time ago and I knew he was embarrassed and had a bruised ego, which was why I kept trying to wait it out with him but um…….

FTS.
I left out of my bedroom….and this story STILL carries on….

My bedroom vs kitchen had a special positioning. The entryway into my bedroom and edge of my bed sat in a way that it could be easily viewed from the kitchen, which could be accessed from both the living room and the hallway closest to the bedroom. You could walk out of my kitchen and cross into my bedroom. The kitchen sink sat on the wall furthest from the bedroom and the stove sat on the other side. From the stove you could look OUT the kitchen, into the dining area.  From the sink, you could turn around and see into the bedroom.

I walked in the kitchen and saw that I needed to wash dishes first because who can accurately cook in a kitchen full of dirty dishes?? So, I started washing dishes with my back turned to the bedroom.  #HotRod, who I assumed was getting dressed as he could see I had clearly moved on with life, had done no such thing. Its funny because I stood there creating what was happening behind me and was COMPLETELY wrong. I expected him to come in the kitchen with the puppy dog defeated look on his face, fully dressed, saying his goodbyes.  At some point, I turned around and to my confused horror; this muthafucka was sitting on the edge of my bed, butt ass naked, with some tube socks on AND pulled up,
Legs cocked wide open
Dick in hand
Still.fuckin.jackingaway. o.O 

He was STILL trying to get it hard, AS IF!!!!!

I mean, wth was he thinking??? IF he was FINALLY successful at getting hard, what the hell was going to happen from there?? I said I was about to cook food. I was currently washing dishes, had chicken sitting on the counter & water running, like what the hell would happen if he was able to get his dick hard??? It was unbelievable and this was all an hour and a blown high after we started this messcapade. 

I just turned my head back to the sink and kept washing dishes.

I wish this blog would allow me to do the motion of him jacking himself into hardness, on the edge of my bed, butt naked with some tube socks pulled up. It helps drive the point home. Perhaps I will try to video myself and post it later. It was the most ridiculous act of 'bravery' (i guess) mine eyes had ever turned to see a man doing. AND IT WAS AN HOUR LATER ! !!!!! Suddenly, I remembered his bald spot and couldn’t envision my hand caressing it in a moaning, spontaneous feel good session.  I was sooooo turned off.
I give him a cool point for resiliency, but the idea of fucking was over for me, so it was unacceptable to think that it was still possible….. 

Well…..this dude was NOT GIVING UP!!!!!
Halfway through me washing the dishes, #HotRod runs from that corner of the bed, still butt naked w/tube socks pulled up past thy ankles, dick STILL in hand and guess what??!!!!!

He had gotten it hard…. -_- 

He ran up behind me and requested with a not-so-humble and quite urgent tone of voice that I move my skirt to the side. I never turned around. I kept washing dishes and I’m sure I had rolled my eyes as he came up behind me……he took immediate notice to my non-conforming attitude and said words I will never forget: 
“You not gonna let me put it in baby”? 

Shit sounded like one word with a bunch of syllables.

I stopped with a bowl in one hand and a dishtowel in the other and humored this nigga for the time being because at this point, I already knew how this would turn out. If he did bust through the hoops, I would have bet my fried chicken that it didn’t last long. I reluctantly scooted the split of my sarong to the side and guess what….

That dick went into deflation. Now….i might have let that give me a complex, but for the fact that over an hour later, he should have been rolling another blunt, drying dishes or preferably going home….anything other than still playing around with his flaccidity and blue balled desire.  ….but he was still trying and if I was his chaffing dick, I would have refused to work as well…..as a matter a fact, after he went back down and he took his embarrassed ass back to his cornerstone bed spot… I think at some point when I went back in the room to grab something (my phone maybe), he mentioned that he was giving up ….

because of chaffing o.O 


 I don’t even remember the last of our interaction that night. I’m positive after that, he put his clothes on and left and promised to call me (as if I was looking forward to that) later that week and how he hoped that he would have the chance to make up for this, sans hitting the blunt.

And from there, I started frying my chicken and called my homegirl up on the phone with a story that, to this day, she never fails to find ROTFLHAO type of humor in.

As for #HotRod…I will admit that I talked to him again. Hey, I was 25…..if this were today, that nigga would have been cut five minutes in and for good. We are still cool people to this day. But I don’t think he reads this blog ;)

I hope it wouldn’t be considered disrespectful to tell this story….
There is a light in it.
The light being, ……well….idk what the light is….
But my apartment that night was lit up only by the glow of my tv.  …..
So its no wonder I would end up in the sexually uncharged Twilight Zone.

The Other Woman: #MuseButter #20001002


Today's soundtrack is Justin Timberlake "What Goes Around Comes Around"


Major relationships…..hmm….what constitutes major?  Love? Or is it the amount of time? Or the things that you shared, or wait –

Is it the age? I don’t have the answers for that one, but I know there were three guys prior to that day I pulled up and wrote a poem at Pump 2 that would ultimately leave my fuel tank depleted.  Three different men that I spent time, age, dreams and love with. I won’t speak on their love for me….particularly because I believe each one did love me.  That doesn’t mean it was a healthy love, but I do believe at some point, they all loved me.  But much like #SirWeasel stated in one of our last text messages to each other “our loves just didn’t match up” ( I wish I could smack his bitch ass with each letter individually…shrug…still got some healing to do).. …

Since me and #Weasel didn’t have a relationship that existed outside of my personal mirage-creation factory, I won’t ‘count’ him as one, but I can say I recklessly have fallen in love with four different men, who in turn, tried to emotionally kill me.  Sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose. At least one of those men tried to kill me physically…..but we’ll get to him in the coming weeks.

But these failures….failed relationships, fantasyships and friendships, all have ONE common denominator. ME. I can’t be in denial about that, as that is the truth.  I am the one moving factor from relationship to relationship. …in blogging about the men that helped shape me for the hurt I experienced from #Weasel, I would really be remised if I did not include some accountability on my part, and being three or four blogs in, I think it’s a good time to step up to the plate and make sure it is known that I do not BLAME these men for who I am, what I have allowed, how long or how bad I hurt. I blame them for being dicks, liars, cheaters, abusers, users, iLL Fated Muses and for hurting me in general, but not the woman I am.  They HELPED, but I am the driver of this car. I have the right to say no. To stop things, to prevent hurt and God forbid, to LISTEN TO MY INSTINCT…….and often times, I have done none of that.
But by the same token, sometimes, I wonder how much of this is Karma?

Let’s go backwards……lets go prior to ALL these relationships and see if we can find a ruffle in the wave. Let’s set the scene:

Year: 1999-2000
Age: 20-21
Setting: Sunset Strip

I was young. I was dumb. I was the epitome of ALOOF about life, relationships and living, but I was trying my hand at ALL of that.  I don’t know how long I had been working at the Sunset when I met #MareReed  but at some point, we were introduced just by way of the business…..he was a ‘customer’, I was a ‘worker bee’ …..it was my job to meet these dudes and talk them out of their money, but I was never a hustler in the common sense. I was lazy. I would sit back and wait for money to make its way into my lap. I was too shy and too introverted and lacked the self-esteem that would have allowed me to place myself randomly in front of strange men and ask for money for a dance.  I would later learn how to become more proficient at this, but I still predominantly let the money come my way.  In my mind, you know what you want….and you will get it, IF you want it bad enough. That thought process remains even today.  Dayshift at the strip club is interesting; it’s quiet, low key, business men on lunch breaks, censored music and beers. At least at the time that’s how it was.  Dayshift is like the Christian Strippers and Night shift are the seculars, if I can put it bluntly.  I started on dayshift.  I met #MareReed on dayshift.  He was handsome. Dark chocolate smooth skin, a simple gold open face tooth that didn’t look like a ghetto drug dealer gone wild, but rather reminded me of how golds and teeth used to compliment each other sometimes.  He was handsome. And he took a special liking to me.  And I him.

I have NO IDEA all these years later how we actually got started, but at some point, I became the single stripper and he became the man I would involve myself with.  But he was married.

And that was a problem.

And it was a classic case of ‘I’m not happy’, ‘for the kids’, ‘gonna leave soon’, 
blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhforeverblahhhhhh.  * shrug * It wasn’t that I was ‘falling’ for the things he said. I was just really passing time and not thinking about how I was passing it.  I knew him being married was wrong, but sometimes, your environment helps shape how you think about consequences, reactions, actions and the ever-so-present Karma.  I just kinda had this attitude of nothing will happen to me AS LONG AS WE DON”T GET CAUGHT.  In total, it was about a yearlong affair.  He swore he loved me and I would return the sentiments to him, but I never really felt love for him in a romantic capacity. I don’t think my mind would allow my heart to love in such a manner.  But I did lie about it.  * shrug*

We took our affair all over Indy.  We went some places sometimes; we hung out A LOT, with friends or by ourselves.  He would come over, pick me up and I would jump in his car like it was nothing. His best friend passed during our affair from getting drunk and falling asleep in his car, in the garage.  The rest was history.  I had met his friend many times at the club. I used to call him DeWayne Wade because they looked so similar.  He was CRUSHED.  I can now attest (via 2014) what that crushed feeling is, but I couldn’t then. I just knew he was hurting and CAPITAL-I wanted to be the one who helped him through it. Although, I knew I could only be there to a certain extent. Rumors were running back to his wife. She knew of me. She knew my name.  She knew where he was and what was going on. She also knew I was a young stripper who was just out here doing the most. IF it was today’s time, she probably would have facebooked me, and then blasted me.  But back in those days, before cameras on phones and instant messages that existed beyond AOL’s dial up service, there simply was a hush mouth pattern that was normal I suppose. So we never had words or so much a conversation. But she knew.  She knew it at the time of his friend’s death. I could tell by the way she looked. Not necessarily at ME, but just around the room. She was scanning the church for my face, but unaware of what it actually looked like. But I knew hers. They naturally sat together at the front of the church. She consoled her husband, as a good wife would do. And the jezebel in the back looked at them both and wished she could scoot in between them. Not because I was in love, but because I just wanted to be IMPORTANT.  Something that just seemed to escape my grasp…..

I walked past them at the final viewing. I think he and I caught eyes briefly. I never said anything.  Neither did he. I left the funeral a concubine stripper who probably had to work later that day. He stayed in the church, a married man, being comforted by family, friends and his wife. As he should have.

Somehow, we managed this affair that disrespected his vows in more than one way. I was such a disrespectful little twat. Seriously, the things I did that I thought were cute are hard to imagine as a fact today.  I went to their house. The house they bought and hadn’t begun living in as of yet. She had been there to put up décor and there was only a little furniture in it, as it was still undergoing some changes.  He took me there and idk, I could be wrong, but I remember him speaking on the house, me and him and all the possibilities in between. I think I may have even bought that lie prior to hitting the floor with him and leaving my pussy juices all over his wife’s fresh floors. So disrespectful and reckless.

I hate to even type that, but what’s the point in not being all the way LIVE and honest about it * shrug * It is what it was.

And it was wrong.

I was wrong. I forced tears for him sometimes in hopes that he would grant whatever my wishes were. But he wasn’t much for that. He wasn’t breaking me off money by the pound or re-carpeting my apartments.  He didn’t outfit me in new clothes, shoes or furniture. He didn’t DO anything to be honest, except tell me he liked me, and then one day that he loved me. Reminds me of my dad.  That’s about it.  I was just going with the flow because it seemed like it was ok. I had justified it somehow in my head, and as I sit here typing, I cannot figure out, remember or come up with what those reasons may have been. I just know I had an affair with a married man when I was 20 to 21 years old.

And today,
I am a childless, unmarried woman who has had THEE ultimate worst luck in the love department. What is Karma exactly???

How long does Karma make you pay for what you’ve done? How deep of a hole do you have to dig in order for karma to pay you back forever????? Are there levels to it?  How does one know when they have reaped their karma or all of it OR is ever done? 

These are all questions that I have randomly asked myself in the ten plus years since this affair ended.  I don’t remember how it ended. I think I just got tired of being a whore with a title. Orrrr, maybe it was somebody telling on me. I think someone told on ME.  Not to his wife….to my family.  The rumors came our way (my family).  LOL.  I can’t really be sure; I just know it ended at some point.

Today,
As it stands….i have cheated, been cheated on, been almost killed, almost shot, beat up, beat on, punched in my stomach at full force, punched in my eye at full force, forced out of a car at gunpoint and left in Detroit with no shoes on my feet for HOURS, at 230 AM…..I’ve been lied to, I’ve been psychologically raped, I’ve been lost, confused, hurt, shamed, bruised, ego shot, I’ve been played with, toyed with, treated like a slut, treated like sex on legs, treated like a nobody, a nothing chick, a loser, a woman without a vision or a goal for life, I’ve been assumed about, talked about, fought, jumped, and it all came to a head January 1, 2014, when I would be once again in the same life, PUBLICLY humiliated.

Is this my karma? All those descriptions have taken place over the last ten years and they don’t even begin to tell the story as a whole. But, how much of that did I LET happen? How much did I go back for? How much was karma? How much did I have coming my way?

When my ex put a gun to my head for the first time, there shouldn’t have been a second or third time. But there was.

When we were locked up in our apartment for four days, stuck together, with matching black eyes that ironically came from NEW YEARS EVE (2002 or 2003…have to check the journal), I shouldn’t have lived beyond that with him. But I did.

That was a CHOICE. When he left me in Detroit after forcing me out of the car, which came after publicly humiliating me in front of club full of people standing outside by calling me names for trying to stop a fight between him and a man who was  trying to ‘holla’ at me (and further complicate my life), guess what I did ?  I walked and walked and walked, with no idea where I was going (his brother, who was with us, witnessing it all, got out the car with me and he left us both).  Two hours later, he found us. I got in the car, went back to the room with him and its possible we had sex.  My worth of myself has always ALWAYS been a challenge.
I could blame my father.
Or my stepfather.
Or God. Or the Son.  Or the Sun or the moon, but the fact remains that I’VE often made POOR choices when it comes to men...and I've been in complete CONTROL of these actions and choices...my inner voice and instinct have always had a voice, but to say it was snuffed out is an understatement. Who has time to listen to that when the music is loud, the money is good and life is but a runway on a stripclub stage??? 

Men have ALWAYS been my weakness, my kryptonite, my challenge, my fixer-uppers……and as a result, I’ve been on the losing end a lot.
As a result of my own actions.
My own road paving .
My own creation of Karma.

So one can’t help but to wonder how much more must I reap for all my past transgressions before I have a slate that is clean enough to have someone love me, the way I would so love them. Despite all the bad and poor choices and decisions I’ve made, MOST (not all) of them were coming from a place in my existence that desires, craves and yields to and for LOVE. Romantic love.
I’d be a lie to say I don’t STILL want it. I do.
I don’t believe in it AT ALL for me anymore…..but I do still want it.

But I would honestly rather be alone and deal with occasional loneliness rather than let Karma kick me in my coochie with dicktoe boots on again. FTS. 

Sir #Weasel didn’t break me. I was broken before we met.  In my breaks and cuts, I made a musical only fit for emotional hell’s consumption.
Jan. 1, 2014 was the day the fire ENGULFED me completely. And it’s been a foggy haze trying to put it out since then…….
…..but now that it’s simply ‘smoldering’, do I have to STILL fear karma?
Will I pay again for #MareReed and our adventures in the Guinness Book of Disrespectful Actions? IDK……I really don’t.

But the fear of my karma,
The knowledge of the things I have done, both mentioned and not, scare me just enough to NOT give love anymore tries.

Fool of Me For Shadows: #AMuseDWeasel #20134102

Today’s soundtrack begins with “Latch”, by Sam Smith.  The acoustic version. 

It was January 2013.  I was approaching my 34th birthday and at some point, I had started sharing eye contact with someone who I saw twice a month at my moonlighting-gig.  We had innocently started inboxing a few months prior because I had some hauling that needed assistance and he was someone who did that….hauling. 

We had been sharing each other’s space for nearly a year by the time my birthday came around. We ‘worked’ together….For the longest time, I could NOT remember his name.  So I never gave him eye contact. I never spoke or looked at him much because I couldn’t remember who the hell he was.  But something about turning 34 changed that.  I was feeling myself in the beginning of 2013.  I was genuinely seeing the optimism in my life, the reasons to be optimistic and I was happy.  Like, I had found some hint of internal joy that seemed relentless.   I felt beautiful, I felt awesome, I felt like a woman of positivity who sought to change people for the better with the words she spoke and from that, I had no reason to NOT feel like what I wanted couldn’t be had……see, I had been in a relationship for seven years, no ring.  Foolish.  When I finally asked for a small ring from tiffany’s that had their NY address (and thus said New York City around the ring) for my bday, I ended up with shoe….a tape dispenser shoe that cost ten dollars from Meijer’s that I could have expensed at work any of the other times I saw it….it wasn’t even the fucking shoe I wanted. So I went out and bought my own fucking ring and put in on my finger and strut my big booty ass out of Tiffany’s feeling like a boss and never looked back…..by the time it got to me and #MuseWeasel, I was confident in a non-emasculating way.  I would later learn, not from his admission but from my perception, that I emasculated him quite a bit, by accident.

It sparked from an inbox that said “ how many licks do you want for your birthday”

……in that moment, I remembered his name. His dimples.
His smile. His build. I remembered him…..not because he inboxed me a lick request. Lol. ….but because we had already been very lightweight flirting for a while, but I didn’t really take it seriously.  January came and went and after my birthday, our contact grew from here and there, to quite a bit.  Then came the night I celebrated my birthday amongst  public friends, associates and strangers…..and I flirted….heavily….with him…in public.  I had set my dial on him. I was confident in me; in who I was, how I looked, what I wanted and what a blessing it was to be offered a piece of me in someone’s life.  And I wanted him.  So I went after him.

#MistakeNumberOne: Women don’t chase. If he doesn’t pursue you, he’s not interested.

By March, both Justin Timberlake and Fantasia had released new CDs.  Justin’s spoke of love requited and Fantasia’s spoke of unrequited love, the potential for regret and loss.  Two opposites that were heavily played by me, daily.  I vibed to those cd’s sooooo hard.  They served as the soundtrack to ‘us’.  It’s interesting now, because I can hardly stand to listen to either CD.

This morning, I put Fantasia’s CD in the player.  
It seems as though I used Justin’s music to project what I would ultimately want from a man who I initially only wanted to be ‘cool’ with.   And Fantasia’s cd, well that was the ultimate Foreshadowing of what was to come.

_ Side Effects of You:  That’s the title of her cd.  …and it has a song to match.  Listening to it then, I liked it, but I wasn’t suffering….i was excited….like she spoke of on one of her other songs, “In Deep”. ….she spoke about wanting to go ‘in deep’ with her muse.   In “End of Me’, her chorus seems eerie to think back to:

“You make me wanna love you
Even though this love might be the end of me
I can’t help but love you
This love is no good for me, could be the end of me.
And I can’t help but, love,
Love
Love you.”

It’s scary to even type that, knowing I listened to this as I would drive to our place of meeting, excited and ready to love this person who had already told me “you don’t want these problems”……

It’s scary to know that I still put my heart out there on a clothes line and waited for him to blow me dry but all that ended up happening was me becoming a sacrifice for his next relationship.  I wanted him.  The more we talked, the more I wanted him.  We would spend hours on the phone talking about the whatevers of the world.  We clicked…..we clicked in a way I had not ever clicked with anyone else before……we had the most random of things in common and where he was low, I was high and vice versa.  He was great at geometry, but not algebra. I was great at Algebra, but not geometry.  The more time that passed, the more it seemed like he was not supposed to be a fleeting individual that was here merely to leave footprints across me.  I thought more and more that WE were good friends……becoming better and both open to the possibility of whatever.  That’s all I wanted.  I wanted to be open to the possibility.  I knew there was a chance that I was wrong, but I was willing to take that chance…..’even though this love might be the end of me” , I was still willing to just see how good of a fit we were for each other.

I would play “Lose to Win” sometimes and think of the times prior to meeting this man that I was ‘losing’, and how he was my win…..or at least had great potential to be. I liked his personality. I liked that we talked a lot, on the phone…..not texting, actually TALKING.  That he would actually call me……that he would return calls when he said he was.  And then he took to texting me early in the morning when I was getting ready for work.  Sometimes he would call in the mornings just to say hello….i couldn’t remember the last time someone had done that…clearly I was on his mind.

We would spend HOURS sitting in the car talking……we clicked sooooo good.   It made me so excited.
By the time summer rolled around, we had engaged in a very spontaneous situation that had me driving home biting my lip in erotic confusion…..did we just do that? 

Did that just happen ???

 Did I like that shit ?

It was public.
It was night time, but it was very public.  Cars drove past us as we cemented our bodies together temporarily in a heated moment of giggling and taking things too far……we were on the parking lot.  We were wide open.

We were so reckless.

I was so reckless……and from the moment I allowed his entry into my interior in such a way, I lost everything.  I took him in, as he naturally was, like a fool…dangerous shit in broad parking lot…and he instantly became my Tunnel Vision.

“ have you ever
Needed someone so bad
But he aint willing to make it last
Sometimes you gotta lose, to win again”   ~Fantasia

I will be honest here….i don’t know where to take this story in particular. I don’t know how to explain it….who to talk about first or how. …I don’t know how to get to New Years Day 2014, twitter, Instagram, BAE and Filler Flowers....yeah, believe me, this story is a complication that had me one step away from a Plea Deal, seriously. ....there were nights i would lie in bed, awake, in PLOT MODE...i think having a roomie at the time saved me from doing the most because her bedroom was downstairs....there were many nights that i almost left the house at 1 am.  I don't know how to get to that point....it means having to relive it ALL.  ...but if all i do is relive that situation daily, surely by way of blogging, i won't succumb to old emotions ....i don’t know how to get to the five hundred dollars that I shelled out in four months in subconscious attempts to buy my way into his heart. which was something I had NEVER done....i have bought awesome gifts and helped out w/a twenty before, but I've NEVER done the most like i did here....was i desperate ?  Was i truly in a place of lowered self esteem to allow this shit to happen???…I don’t know how to explain how quickly I lost the me I started off as. …I don’t know how to explain the breakdown of communication….i don’t even know how to explain the love.  I don’t know how to accept how long I knew he wasn’t into me and still I bought his 7-11 lies like they were on sale for BOGO.

I don’t know where it came from.

I will say this: I don’t believe he DESERVED my love. But oh boy, I tried everything just shy of gluing my love to the walls in his house to get it to him. …..there were things he would say or do that made me feel like he was welcoming ME, specifically ME, into his life on a different plain than anyone else.  But that was just the way I view the world, not the way he operated in it.  The things he was doing were always for HIM…..they never had anything to do with me.  Kissing me in front of his son was not to say “You are a special lady’ ….and I should have never taken it that way.  It was to say thank you for the money that he was being handed. 

The times he would manicure my yard to perfection and actually gave me some appreciation for having THE best looking yard on the block was not because I was someone special.  IT was because he has a true passion for yard work and wants his own demonstration doing just that. He wants a lawn care service.  My yard was merely practice.  He had never cut a hill like that before and he was learning precisely how to approach it, treat it and get it perfected with the most ease as possible. He was practicing so that he would get better with straight lines and speedy time.  He was using my yard as a sacrifice for the rest of his lawn care services he offered to others……..


He wasn’t hooking his ‘baby ‘ up.  He was preparing himself for the next yard he was going to play in. And what I didn’t know until I had allowed myself to be made a fool of, was he was ALREADY in that yard the whole time.

And he had put that yard inside of my mouth. 

Two CDS….two different soundtracks to us. We had a beginning and an end.  And I was playing them both at the same time, not realizing I was living in what would become shadows.  I was playing songs that were foreshadowing what was to come……yes, I was a fool for him….

But I was a wayyyyyy  bigger fool for those shadows Justin Timberlake sang to me. I believed in our Mirrors. ….but I would only end up with the Side Effects of Him.

“Nobody told me,
Nobody told me, the side effects of you.”
