Real Love

by TAMARA

There ain’t never been

There ain’t ever been

Nothing wrong

With some real love

oo

Cause there ain’t never been

Where there’s plenty love

Cause there’s will in love

With the illest O

Cause that’s not your lover

But you’re not just friends

That’s like yo baby

But y’all ain’t no kin

You just gon love them

And that’s what it is

Y’all ain’t gon change up

Too tight for an end

Too tight for an end

Maybe

by TAMARA

Maybe being alone is the easiest

Being at the weakest point

With no one to laugh and join

No one to grab and be pushed away

There isn’t anyone to let you down but yourself

They can’t judge you

Please don't save me

by TAMARA

Please don’t save me

You’re not the hero

Never there from the get go

The reason why I’ve been alone

Why I don’t want to live anymore

Don’t tell me you love me

Or ask why I never consulted you

Cause all that time I hoped that you

Would notice

I prayed that you’d hear my cries at night

Or asked if I felt alright

And be able to see my pain through my smiles

All of that fake love

I’m over it

If only you had tried to understand

But you pushed me then forced my hands

And I

Never meant to hurt nobody

But when you’ve got nobody on your team

You fight for yourself

And you never get help

Even with a good heart

I’ve made some people bleed

I wish I could take them back

And handle all of that with the right mindset

Having time not wasted

So don’t you dare try to save me

Cause when I was lost

You were sleep

Left me in my nightmares while you dreamed
