Wasted Loyalty

She send kites evey 2 weeks

For 5 years she wrote with love

Know the time wont be long, its worth the wait

Spring knows he will be home.

“Fill in time” with success on her mind

Collecting degrees, extra hours on the clock

Patty cake, makin cakes hope one day she can make a baby

Gettin practice in with her sisters kids

They love her dearly, can’t wait till he can see

See she stayed true to her belief

Every Sunday

Tithes and offering

Hopin God bless her with the man that she dreams

Still sending love to him thru bars.

“Damn Regina Hall, how can I get involved?”

She studying late nites, a new “he” likes her groove.

Deep inside she wants to move

Her heart and mind can’t coincide but her body wants to drive

Outta her lips she replies “I gotta man, he inside”

“Inside what, the house?” Replied he.

She laughs

Comedy peaks her interest

A little warm in her pink dress

Days later he begins to try

Another date, a extra life

Night goes well, they lock eyes

He makes the first move but to his demise

His lips met hers and tears hit her eyes

Her heart and mind can’t coincide but her body wants to drive

She gets out and says goodnight

And write her cries in the kite lines.

The day has come the kites can cease

He finally comes home to she

Husband and wife is the life she want to be

All this hard work so running he can hit his feet

Social media post so in love…

Months go on, love looks sound

Then those social post slow down

Broken statuses, seem so conflicted

Sad eyes cause of mad lies

She never knew why

Those kites could fly!

Wings on his back when he was lock in

He get free and committed the worst crime

He choose over she,

And her heart bleeds
