    FIDELITY

    Faithful

    what i want from you

    what you want from me

    is a feeling of fidelity

    no suppositions

    propositions

    fatal positions

    or terse technicality

    physicality

    not being the sole source

    but rather the result of 2 souls

    negotiating an obstacle course

    littered with denials

    child support trials

    and  divorce

    what we are  looking for 

    is a force

    no words can fully explain

    a discourse

    a healthy  exchange

    of ideals

    that appeal

    to our definition of common

    or should i say uncommon  sense

    with all due respect to prince

    i dont want to be your girlfriend

    but i dont want 

    your why cant i find a good man girlfriend

    slyly making our thing end

    because 

    i am tired of the singles cruises

    the ruses

    the bruises

    baby

    when the champagne bottle 

    is empty

    i need to know you are with me

     

     

    and 

    though i know  at times

    you will and should complain

    and will have pertinent issues

    that pertain

    to how our love affair

    can sustain

    what i am droppin here is a basic groove

    i must

    based on trust

    use deeds and action not words

    that soothe

    heck i am a writer

    i know how 2 be  smooth

    what can  words proove

    if direct action is straight rude

    point is  my lady

    i dont want you  to excuse 

    my behavior

    but savor

    what i want from you

    and

    what you want from me

    a feeling of fidelity

     

    can we

    traverse stormy seas

    with just love

    no..flat out no

    because when push comes to shove

    love can either be an emotion

    that keeps a relationship afloat

    or

    an anchor that drags you or me 

    to the depths of depression

    where we choke 

    from the salt of  bitter tears

    thinking about years

    spent

    being naive and reliant

    on a so called trust

    that was actually non existent

     

     

    living  in a house

    we thought we owned

    but on the real we rent

    failing to mask the scent

    with breath mints

    of a poo nah nee that aint yours

    and a pee niss that aint mine

    pretending everything is fine

    classic example of 

    the blind leading the blind

    trying desperately to vent

    smoke rising from 

    the altar of discontent

    shielding  our faces from 

    the heat  of distrust

    and for who..for what

    a suck or a thrust

    nah..not me 

    not you

    not us

     

    true  real

    i feel

    all couples should  take  a break

    and get back into the game

    as observers

    just to witness the shame

    of people that remain

    in the same

    clubs

    acting young and stupid

    choking on dubs

    knowing damn well their jobs

    have a drug 

    policy

    honestly

    dont they look drained

    constrained

    by a thought process

    that induces  stress

    aint no glory in waking up alone

    with a phone

    full of nothing

    so what i want from you

    and 

    what you want from me

    should be 

    a feeling of fidelity

     

    you ask me

    can i adhere to the principles

    of being a one woman man

    hell yeah i can

    i am a grown azz man

     

    you know how i get down

    and if you dont 

    ask around

    brotha dee dont do

    the life of the party bullshyt 

    and dress like  i am 22

    damn

    i am a grown azz man

     

    no poo nah nee

    can tempt me 

    unless i dig the tempt

    no excuses

    i aint exempt

    and i am not a fake broke pimp

    i am a grown azz man

     

    to me

    in my humble opinion  fidelity

    is the purity

    or quality of being loyal

    not acting spoiled

    when emotions tend to boil

    stepping out

    leaving  details out

    acting like you doing innocent 

    what is that lying word...

    chatting on facebook

    hell i am a grown azz man

    that crap is a hook

    and before you know it 

    somebody..somewhere got took

    and trust  with their woman or man

    is permanently shook

    so 

    let me end this where i once began

    simple math

    you are a woman

    i am a man

    tired  of the drama

    the lack of honesty

    so what i  want from you

    and

    what you should want  from me

    is a feeling of fidelity

     

    dont you agree...
