+6Time Is Ticking,
Your Just Thinking,
“Will He Come To Me Tonite?
Even If I Put Up A Fight?”
Love Is Here To Stay With You,
Together Forever, Just You Two.
He Promised Your His Only One,
He’d Die For You, Head & Gun.
He Said He Loves You Forever,
Would He Hurt You? He Promised Never.
Those Words Run Through Your Mind,
Memories Start To Rewind.
He’s Outside, Throwing Pebbles At Your Window.
A Sign For You, Its Time To Go.
Him & You Put Your Things In His Car,
Your Face Is Glowing; This Is Who You Are.
Exchange Kisses At A Stoplight,
You Know Now, Your Doing Something Right.
You Get To His House, & Call It ‘Home’
Because Hes Your Man; Your Not Alone.
You Have Sex, With No Glove,
& Thats Why They Call It Runaway Love.

+4It all started, the day I was born,
My abuelito said his family was what he lived for.
His wife, my momma, my aunties & my uncles,
Ready to protect me with a pair of brass knuckles.
He promised I would be the one he held high,
Just knowing that he loves me, makes me wanna cry.
& one day after school, seeing him sleeping in his bed,
Waking up to my momma crying, saying he was dead.
That day, the whole fucking world just stopped.
I could’ve fucking sworn that my heart just dropped.
I’ll never forget the man that said, “I love you,”
Knowing those three words so fucking true,
He told me to keep the nasty boys out of my mind,
Wishing that was playing in my head at the time…
I was wooped over a wanna be Norputo,
But, lookin back at it now, I was a stupid little girl, though.
& on our first date, I thought a kiss was just enough,
Until he pulled me closer & said, “Baby, lets fuck.”
He said he loves me, but its him I cant trust,
& still my abuelito looks down in disgust.
So Dear Grandpa, i sat here, & wrote this, & thought it through,
So I wanna say three words i didnt get to say: “I love You”
