You Said I Don't Love You
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
Here, we go again.
You said I don't love you.
I guess you forgot all the things I've done for you.

I guess you're suffering memory lost.
Even that comes with a cost.
When you think of the effort I put into us.

The sacrifice I made to keep a smile upon your face.
What more?
Do you need?
I am doing my best to keep you happy.

I Like Me
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
I like me.
I like everything about me.
I like those mistakes I make.
They made me a better me.

I like my eyes, my nose, my face.
Ok, I like me.
Nothing, you can say make me hate me.
Because I like me.

I do hope you like you.

I like my willingness to learn.
I like my determination to earn.
Might or might never ever get rich.

But within my soul I am wealthy.
Because I like me.
From my head to my toe.

Now, you know.

Is There Room
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
Not trying to erase anyone memories.
Not trying to.
Not trying to complete with anyone at all.
Not trying.

I just know one moved on from your heart.
And see you in a sad mood.
But I am asking you this is their room for me.

If I decide to be the one you seek?
And not a temporary thing.
Cause loving you would mean so much to me.

So, is there any room for me?
I'm asking.
I'm asking.
Is there anyone room for your heart to be healed by me.

Whistle Blowing
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
She didn't know.
Only I knew, until you spoke the truth.
Until you went whistle blowing with it.

Telling, everything that I kept inside.
Then you spoke my honesty with pride.
Just whistle blowing behind my back.

I am not a corporation hiding my evilness.
I am just a man covering up my love.

So, tell and tell and tell.
Until I finally tell her.
Mar 2024 · 272
Standing On Purpose
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
I don't do love by accident.
Or even by pretense.
I am standing on purpose.

A love that sincere concerning you.

All my attention stays forever upon you.
From the moment we met I sworn my intention would be to impress you.

I don't say anything just to be speaking.
I am just not an attention seeker in the least.
I am standing on purpose.
Plus, standing upon love.
A love built solely around you.

If I can't stand for that.
I guess I just have to give it back.

In Your Eyes (I'm A King)
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
We might not live in a mansion.
We might not live in a palace.
In fact, we mainly live the simple life.
But in your eyes, I am a King.

We might not enjoy the royal life.
But that isn't what our life should be like.
None could ever say I'm not loyal to you.
I cherish and deeply worship you.
In my eyes, you're a Queen without a crown.

You make me happy.
You make me proud.
And I know in your eyes I'm a King.
And been told I am your everything.
While in truth that's exactly what you been to me.

The Same Woman
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
Suddenly, you came to mind more than before.
And I asked myself why?
Suddenly, I am imaging your smile.
Your eyes and your voice.

I am recalling what impressed me about you.
And it deals solely with you being the same.
Just a little older, just you being a little wiser.

Suddenly, I had to hear your voice.
So, I call you by choice.
And I had to rejoice from the moment of speaking.

Because you the same soul.
The same woman that controls my heart.
My joy, my love.

The same woman that builds me up with support.
Forever, forever in my corner.
And for me there will never be another.

Burned Out On Love
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
Call all the doctors, none can cure me.
Call even the ministers, they can't heal me.
Because I am burned out on love.

Don't to feel it.
Don't want to see it.
Because I burned out on love.

Totally drained.
About to go insane and honestly don't want to hear that person name.
Cause I'm burned out on love.

Gave all I could.
It just did me no good.
Now, here I do stand.

From Afar
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
I saw her, from afar.
And instantly she stole my heart.
There were no guarantees that she would love me.

Or even give her time to me.
But from afar everything about her stayed within me.
Then I got lucky, when she spoke highly of me.

And she just the type of woman every man needs.
A sweet woman with a sincere heart and great personality.

And it all started from afar.
This woman came and stole my heart.
And suddenly I felt like a superstar.
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
Don't come after me.
Because I clap back.
And it without any apologies.

Don't start something, you're not ready for facing.
For what you start?
I'm here to erase it.

So, don't come after me.
Because what you start it.
I am going to replace it.

Cry, gripe or complain.
Least, I didn't call you out of your name.
Mar 2024 · 82
Really
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
My love wasn't enough for you to stay.
You went away quickly.
And I continued on living life.

And without you, it's twice as nice.

Sure, I could have cried.
But I didn't give it a second thought.

And now you're back saying I didn't care.
When in truth it seems to be you?

What I was blessed with?
I cherished it deeply.

I just wasn't going to waste my time chasing you.
When you had a love so true.

So, you saw yourself as a distant dream.

When in reality you never stood by me?
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
I spoke a joke.
You got offended.
I apologized.
You said I didn't mean it.

I left it alone.
Until you spoke upon it.
So, which one is it.

You can't have it both ways.

Knowledge Is Power
jeffrey conyers Mar 2024
I don't like you.
I don't like your color.
I'm basing it upon views of others taught to me.

Some said for years your kind is beneath me.
I have listened to this constantly repeated over time.
Until one day I listened to my mind.

Once, where I was blind?
Now, I do see truth.
I'm no better than you and you're no better than me.

We honestly bleed the same.
And along the way I lost family and friends.
Because I learned knowledge is power.
When using my opinions about others.

Like a blind soul living in darkness.
I just don't see a person based on color.

Grandparents, if you have them left their marks too.
Some will go quickly to their grave to protect you.

Remember that uncle because one we strictly adore.
And you truly know why.

At certain growth in life.
Wisdom comes in handy handlings folks, especially teens.
When they mouth off without comprehending certain consequences to come.

We been there, we face the storm.

Just nothing.

Nothing electronically, not even a phone day.
Nothing medical, unless a serious fall or accident.
Some days, it just be like that.

Not even writing less of all typing.
Not even chatting unless it's important.
Small talk ticks me off.
Some days, it be like that.

Hate to say it but more admit it.
Not getting up for church even when I should.
Especially if the sermon going to be a bore.
Some days, it be like that.
While knowing the power above deserves to be praised.

I know I'm not the only one.
Except, some days it be like that.

Some just won't admit it.

They have the power and the clout.
Just not the knowledge and the wisdom.
They are even jealous of this man attention.

Words can create heat.
Make no mistakes about it.
Look at the definition of hate.

Which mirror closely into the word anger.
Which controls many folks' moods.

Words of hope holds so much joy.
Like a sweet smile or tone that can cheer you up.
Some words serve a wonderful purpose.

I'm not trying to be a politician.

What concerns me?
Shouldn't concerns you.
But for some reasons they always seem too.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about me.
Except, many of us barely know me.
You just read this or that or basing comments on things you heard.

Guess what?
I hadn't even spoken a single word.
And not going to comment of things you heard others say.
I don't conduct things that way.

So, don't bring your business into mine.

We see right and that's not about to change.

And when folks say opposite attracts.
I guess that's exactly where we at.
But we agree on love.

I see up.
You see down.
I see smiles.
You see frowns.

And when folks complain about everything single thing.
I guess that's apart of you.
But we agree on love.

It's what motivate us.

In summary, yes to you.'
You're the best person I ever known.
Oh, I can describe more cause, we both are grown.

There is no need for clues to this mystery.
Because somewhere this love exists.
And our bound all-around trust.

Loyalty, somewhere this love exists.
Happiness, somewhere this love exists.
And trust, somewhere this love exists to the point that we have in between us.

If upon a trip without one another?
We be discussed because many seems to know us.
And if things never were?
It soon will be concerning us.

Because, we aware, somewhere our love exists.
