Bear (Love)

Set Free

You say you love me unconditionally

But I’ve got things that set me free

That you don’t want me to try, you won’t let me do

Your acting this way has got me confused

You’ve only sampled me, but I feel abused

Trying to control, that’s just so profuse

I try to meet you halfway at the gate

Want to help you put food on the plate

You take it as a threat to your sexuality

But I only want to set you free

I said I only want to set you free

Love, trust and honor, the realest three

All of these I offer thee

Won’t you embrace my symphony?

What is life if we don’t rise above?

Would you rather have me wait on your love–

When I already have it, so can’t I do me?

Cause what I will do will help us to be free.

I’m sick of stress and poverty

But you mustn’t want me to be set free.

You say you love ambitious women like me

And you love my cockiness and sensitivity

I love living life, just as I love you

So why would you make me have to chose?

I’ve got few options, my career or you,

Why can’t I love you and do what I want too?

If the tables were turned, I’d do it for you

That’s the one reason you can call me your Boo

Sometimes I wonder – do you love me for you?

Cause you seem to care about pleasing just you

There are things I want form life, I deserve them

There are things I need from life, seems you want to hurt’em.

My ambitions, desires, the love of my soul…

What makes me better, you want to control

Don’t you know, without these, things that I’m nothin?

Sometimes, it makes me think you know nothin

About who I am, a woman of power

Will you be present at my shinning hour?

I’m not sure, cause you’ve been shaky

You’ve been actin funny lately

When I mention things that will set me free

I wear it’s crazy, that you’d hinder me

Cause I only want to set us free!

Think I’d leave you behind, no not me!

But let me tell you somthin and I don’t feel guilty:

If you don’t want to see me truly happy

I’ll leave you behind and set myself free.

Losing You

Am I losing you? Please say, “no way!”

The thought of you walking out that door has me going insane.

I can’t eat, can’t think, can’t sleep.

All I know is that my heart continues to weep.

You said you’d always be around,

Where are you my love? You’re lost, I need you now!

I’m about to report you missing

What is romance without you and me kissing?

Don’t know what to do…

I’m paranoid at the thought of losing you.

Please, please baby: come back to me.

No explanation leaves me dumbfounded,

Am I not all you want and need?

Is it something I said, something I did?

If so, I apologize, I promise I didn’t mean it.

Damn baby, you got me wide open.

Soon as I thought I couldn’t fall, your love had me hoping.

Why, why why?

The thought of losing you brings tears to my eyes.

Price to Pay

Every time I see your face, its crystal clear pain.

I began to love you deeply then you took that love away.

Oh how could you do it, desire of my heart?

You quickly became the reason, my heart tore apart.

A sensitive, girl, drunk, full of love:

You hit me too hard, that’s when I threw love up.

Your love covered the floor, I slipped and fell in it

Standing in pungent odors of your love, I was disgusted.

Covered in the waste that once tasted so good to me,

My system has digested you, now I’ve got to be free.

Thought I’d met “the one”, but you wasn’t legit.

Thought it’s not my usual choice, I’ve decided to quit.

It’s no more love with you, but the pain remains.

I keep receiving losses, where are the gains?

All I’ve gained is pain, that’s how I know I’ve lost.

My love has gone away, losing you was the cost.

All About You

You’ve got it going on…Tall, strong,

Mind of a ruler; let me stroke your ego

The epitome of everything supreme

Damn, you are so good to me…

The way you romance is incredible baby

My turn to woo you

That’s why I’m the first lady

Let me tell you...didn’t I tell you?

You’re everything I want, everything I need

Oh, please come get down on your knee(s)

That’s what I said, bring a ring, or play with mine

Smile, it’s kissing time!

You’re the man I want to make love with by the fire

The thought of it shows me that you’re my one desire

You think it too, I know because I feel you

We feeling each other...now that’s all we want to do.

A Gift To You

Thank you…for a gift bestowed quite unlike no other.

Entirely unique, I am so thankful you’ve become my lover.

You’ve discovered a secret passageway into the depths of my heart.

Cardiac-arrest overcomes me, you the miracle charge.

Since I’ve began to live this new, lively existence with you—

I feel that the world belongs to us, all our desires to become truth.

A long-awaited calm comes over my mind— I can relax,

Weeping tears of joy, eternally thankful for what we have.

The air seems a little bit lighter; yes, the sun seems to shine brighter.

My gait a new sophistication, eyes flutter like a porcelain china doll.

You’ve developed my being, the pleasure is all mine.

I’m thankful to experience this privilege within this lifetime.

Blessed is a love like this, a love so genuine and true.

For the remainder of my existence the only one I want is you.

Mixtape

You’re on my mind, I’ve started to fantasize

Of you coming home to me, that’s my fantasy

I want to be your love, your everything

I’m ready for more, will you give it to me?

I want you to be all mine, please don’t decline

My sincerest invitation, conversation rules the action

I’m impatient, I wanted it yesterday

Tomorrow isn’t promised, so what’s up for now?

No time to sit around playing hard to get

Come on over, be easy, come and get with me

Well…if you don’t, I’ll have to deal with it

I guess I’ll get a friend to pass the time

Shit, I need something to keep me occupied

If it ain’t you, then I’ll do what I got to do

I see us for a long time, in the long run

Anybody else is just a lil somethin

You know my stubborn ass wants you though

Let me give you my all, just lose control

If it’s too much to handle, press pause

When we press play. I’ll do it all

If u can’t handle it, I’ll fast forward to another

Too late to rewind and get to be my lover

So think about it for a minute, I’ve got time

If it doesn’t work out, save a lifeline.

Void

All alone with my fears...

Can’t you hear my tears drowning out your ears?

The pain cuts to my core –inner being

I wish I overreacted about this thing

Fortunately, it doesn’t even matter –no one cares

They all pretend to love you until you’re not there

Behind my back is whispering abound

I wonder why the real aren’t found

I’ve given up on contentment

To cry, scream and stress is my predicament

There’s nothing analogous to what I feel

My grievances are just –I’m aiming to heal

The gleam in my eyes has turned evanescent

The empyreal sight would be a blessing

To no avail, I stand here crying

Slowly, deliberately, utterly dying

There’s nothing to live for without it

The thought of sustenance makes me sick

It’s what I need, I’m begging to receive

If I can’t have it, then I must leave

This void is growing bigger.

What should I do?
