You hurtin?

You hurtin? 

I’m not saying you not entitled to the pain 

But let’s remember who chose that path 

Baby I wanted you

I wanted you more than I wanted air in my lungs

You were so breathtaking 

Asthmatic when you around

We fit together like some puzzle pieces

You were the reason my heart was racin  

But baby you hurtin?

You told me you hate when people leave you

But you left me

Cut me off completely 

Got me feelin like everything you told me was a lie

I said I love you cause I did 

I loved all of you baby

Good and bad, through it all I had ya back 

You said you love me but ya actions spoke louder

Said I’m the one who got ya heart but you went and took it back 

You told me it’s just Mutual Butterflies 

Matter of fact, we said a lot of things

From the dates we wanna go on to some wedding rings

Shawty really had me dreamin of a better day 

When I wake up and hear her say 

“Good mornin baby” 

Fuck papers and tote, you had everything I need to get high 

Miss when our lips lock 

And when my hand rested on ya thigh 

Now tell me are you hurtin?

Said it’s not me it’s you, but then proceeded to make me feel like I’m the reason

With you I wanted to grow 

But you didn’t stay till I had progress to show

I feel like you gave up on me 

You told me I had a habit to interrupt and I was workin on that 

Cause ya feelings were more important than mine in my mind 

But I would get excited to make a point and cut you off

After you called me out the first time I tried not to do it but like I said baby it’s a habit

I’m sorry

I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you wanted

I’m sorry I couldn’t give you what you wanted when you wanted it 

I’m sorry for fuckin everything up

But tell me how you hurtin? 

You kept it real with me and was everything I needed

You were healthy on the mental 

You was my little 5’1 Hershey kiss

Every moment was so bliss

I cherished everything about you way before you was gone 

And now all I’m left with are the memories on my phone

I remember the pain from the first time 

You told me we weren’t meant to be 

I swear to you I felt my heart shatter right there

But I kept my smile and kept it pushin 

And I remember our first date, how much I was adoring you

And I remember the day I fell in love with you

We were chillin in ya bed talkin some real shit 

And on some real shit I don’t cry.

So for you to see my tears and my deepest darkest fears 

I was vulnerable with you, cause baby

I saw a future with you but maybe I was trippin

I mean who am I? Raven? 

I’m applying everything you taught me

Told me I wear my heart on my sleeve 

Time to cover it up 

Cause this pain really isn’t a vibe 

I thought you were down for the ride 

Instead you took the keys and left me chillin

So baby tell me what kind of pain you feelin? 

I treated you like my queen cause you ain’t deserve nothin less

I wanted to give you my world and reduce all ya stress

I wanted to clean up every single mess

Even if I ain’t make it  

All of ya pain baby I’ll take it 

Took ya heart and promised I’d never break it 

And I kept that 

My mother told me to be a man of my word 

And I did that

We ain’t even end on no hostile shit 

I told you I’d stick around no matter what my role is 

Last thing I said I need some space 

You said “Ight that sounds cool” 

Next thing I knew I wouldn’t be hearing from you

No answer no clue 

Left out the blue 

Believe it or not I can’t stop thinking of you 

But now I know we weren’t meant to be 

However

I will never forget about you

Left a scar on my heart so how could I? 

I won’t stress 

I’m just writing to get this off my chest

Off my mind 

Speak my piece even if you ain’t here 

Thank you for the experience 

I wish you well 

You were the best I’ve ever had 

I know our love is a story you won’t tell
