i thought i knew you

I thought I knew you

I thought I knew you

Like the lines on my hand I thought I could understand your existence

I thought I could figure out the way you walk

The precision in the words you utter like the colours in the skies

I thought your word was forever lasting

Yet my thoughts were wrong and in you I found something else

Either then the thought I had of you

That same thought that cursed me into loving you

Into letting you crawl between my skin and veins and like a virus

You spread through my being

Like water sipping into the ground you penetrated deep into a place I never knew existed

Yet I thought I knew you the way you lips move when you smile

And how your laugh echoes the existence of beauty bound by the imagination of children

Who speak what they told and do what they feel

I thought I felt something for you either then this confusion that has got me blinded to the beauty of life and life itself

I thought I knew you

How your eyes lo0ok every time you thought of me

And yet that thought was not of me yet another much better than me

In your view I was nothing but a tool for your amusement

A joke that transcended from a from a womb of a black whom whose was proud to call me her son

You thought since I could relate with your language with the precision of those who created it

That I was inferior then you, and that you superiority complex

Could mask the real you, a liar, a fraud

Too despicable  to imprison I n four walls that could never hold you back

I thought I knew you

Thought I could counter your every move with my own

And like a ballroom dancer take the lead

Yet my mind was plagued by the notion that my mind had created

The notion of knowing you and understanding your thoughts and all that was you

Yet my imagination was caught between the cross fire when my heart and mind where at war

A war you created by trapping me in a spiral of doubt and not trusting who I was

I know I have only just met yet my trust in you in far greater

Than the earth quakes that triggered the tsunami of 06

Yet my trust in you and the truth transcended like a ray of sunshine to bring darkness to my world

And to cover the growth that was already there

I thought I knew you

Knew what made you smile cause in my mind I was that thing yet you

Choose to blind side me like a game of chance was being played

And I was losing, losing my dignity as a free soul

Cause now my soul and yours where intertwined as one

Yet separate beings that feared the thought of me being with you

Yet I thought I knew you   

And with every chance that I took to bring you closer to me and me closer to you

I was bringing the devil back into I life of light

That was immediately destroyed leaving this empty shall that crave death

And that death craves

I thought I knew you

Yet day by day and hour after each hour my senses are torn apart by the notion

That you played me

You made melodies that you found rejuvenating to your senses

Melodies that revived in you a spirit that changed you

I thought I knew you
