I'm here, you're there
You know I want to chat
I fear you'd lend no ear
So I lay here on my back

Love is cursed, of course
No wonder I feel blessed
But being alone, is worse
I need eased off this stress

So before, I Self Destruct
I need you to hold me down
Before I self destruct
I need you to hold me down

Sitting, cold, in the dark
You came and held my hands
Your kisses gave me spark
Baby, do you want to dance?

I understand my emotions yell
But you understand me well
For you, everything I can sell
Can't lose you, my life is already hell

So before, I Self Destruct
I need you to hold me down
Before I self destruct
I need you to hold me down

Emptiness engulfs my soul
My past is uglier than my whole
Right before I lose control
I'll smash my brains with a pole

Give me strength to pull this through
If I don't, I know not what else to do
Right before I end this dude
A kiss, and I'll feel good

So before, I Self Destruct
I need you to hold me down
Before I self destruct
I need you to hold me down

I can't leave my son alone
This world is a cruel place
I'd be insane to let my bone
So young running this race

But I have to go my way
But I can't say my goodbyes
So once again, I'll stay
Just to look at those bulgy eyes

But before I self destruct
I need you to hold me down
Before I self destruct
I need you to hold me down

No, until I self destruct
I need you to hold me down
My life, I'd reconstruct
But you have to hold me down

Nice

This was beautiful

Nice


Laveda.

Lovely piece Jigs.

All you all shouting nice, lovely and whatever up there, if you're ask to identify the rhyme scheme used in the poem, or even list 5 poetic device in the poem, you'd ignore the mention the way a broke man ignores a beggar on the street.

So please, keep your condescending asslicking and annoying patronising habit away from this section.

This ain't the romance section where ignorance run amok, you know.

instead of attacking them, why not just tell us what the poem is lacking or if its cool? since when has it become wrong to praise something that looks nice to you?

It's always nice to praise anything that looks nice if you truly understand and know how nice that thing is.

people praise things depending on how they understand it. what if they're praising it for the message as they understood it? that afro guy should know this is the poem section. such squabbles will not be tolerated here.

Chill out, Jigs. I'm sure you don't know afro and Salomon have one thing in common? They're affiliated to 1832.

Happy New Year, brah.
