No More

by Mac Guerreiro

Y'all are so lazy these days,
Give her your number then you don't have to do a thing,
No courting or going out on a limb,
What the fuck happened?
Truly paralyzed by your fear of rejection?
Or maybe so complacent with how we've become,
Literally taking crumbs,
Well not this one,
Not anymore,
After time and time again eye've learned my lesson,
Entertain no less than eye deserve,
Realizing the power in being a female,
A walking force of creativity,
We've forgotten our divinity,
Even biology states our parts in this game,
The peacock shows its colors,
She decides between him and the others,
The lion sounds his roar,
And the lioness determines if it's up to par,
Humans are no different,
But we've lost our way,
You take your time contemplating,
Just don't expect me to stay.
 

Boys Will Be Bois

by Mac Guerreiro

Why did you have to do that?
Why did you have to go and be a boy,
Treating me like some toy you can play with on a whim? 
No,
That's not happening,
Now we can't play at all,
Not even a little, 
Not even small,
And it sucks,
It sucks because we had fun,
Massages and kisses aside,
Eye really liked your vibe,
And it felt like you liked mine,
But you caught me at an interesting time,
Eye no longer settle for less than eye deserve,
And eye have you to thank for that valuable lesson learned,
But god damn it dude,
Why?
And eye know my body's just your type,
Yours is also mine,
So what are we gonna do?
Me,
Nothing,
As you say "it's up to you"
Classic fuckboi move,
Get rid of the ball as soon as you can,
That way you can avoid being a man,
You'll come around again one day,
But eye won't wait,
Which is why eye said goodbye,
And it's time to let it go,
But hey,
At least you get to enjoy the show.

The Indifference Onset Begins

by Mac Guerreiro

Eye've accepted that your energy will remain for a bit,
Eye'll notice it,
At least for a while longer,
How you look at me with a hint of puppy eyes,
Sulking because eye told you goodbye,
This little dance that'll likely never advance,
You and eye,
Our expiration came up quick,
And eye was still too late to realize it,
You didn't like my call,
Oh well,
In giving it eye gave up your goodbyes,
The potential of looking in your eyes and sharing an inside joke,
Now you'll complement me but it'll feel empty,
Because my farewell was left hanging,
And it's true eye didn't do it for you,
But part of me wishes eye didn't have to,
That this would go on,
And you'd take the lead,
That you hadn't shown that you don't deserve me.

Hate That Eye Care…

by Mac Guerreiro

Eye stay off of Instagram,
Because eye know that even there we aren't friends,
And the temptation to search your name is overwhelming,
You always said you "never go on it,"
But eye always felt that was a lie,
You could follow me,
You just choose otherwise,
And at this point if it's for better or worse eye don't know,
But it amazes me that your virtual absence consumes my mind,
Wonder if these feelings are returned in kind,
Now the IG may be the only place that you'll See me,
And it's just a matter of time,
Till the notion of you completely escapes my mind.

Swing

by Mac Guerreiro

Swinging hips,
They don't even try,
But they catch your eye,
Subtle or not eye won't turn to check,
Nah fuck that,
Because eye know you peek,
And eye didn't mind,
The looks were occasionally returned in kind,
But eye don't like what this has come to,
My eyes used to want to play with you,
The perfect timing,
A glance to your lips,
Then eye was off again,
Swinging my hips.

A New Shade of Gray

by Mac Guerreiro

To think that eye could take it all along,
That eye could decide when it's done,
That's a perspective eye've never held,
Till today,
The original idea was okay,
But it consisted of swinging to the other extreme,
It's not a place where eye could do my greatest learning,
So my question has been answered,
This is the reason,
Attracting the same time and time again,
So that eye can learn to honor my own boundaries,
Six months is a good time to gauge,
And remembering that eye set the pace,
Keeping in mind that emotionless isn't my game,
Give what eye deserve and we can have some fun,
Any less and eye'm already gone.

An Opening

by Mac Guerreiro

Love me till the world stops,
Till the shoe drops,
Till all the lights fade,
And once they have,
Love me harder,
Keep me in your embrace,
My shell so brilliantly tough,
Concealing a heart that feels too much,
Is softening by the day,
For the right callers,
Are eventually shown the way.

Head-On Collision

by Mac Guerreiro

No flower blooms year-round,
Yet eye must,
No seeds grow without sun,
Yet that's my expectation,
How is my dearest companion,
Also my most fierce foe?
How deep does the self-hatred go?
For all the times eye fall short to a too-long rope,
When will eye finally decide,
To tighten this tightrope.

Dear Hookup Culture

By Mac Guerreiro

Dear hookup culture,
Eye don't get you,
The meaningless touches only leave me blue,
Perhaps because it's not a game to me,
Sex is nothing without intimacy,
The ultimate act of creation just fucked with recklessly,
On the flipside,
To partake is a choice,
And the peer pressure ins great,
Amidst all the fuckbois,
You find a man every now and again,
Someone looking to really connect,
Such a rare specimen is what eye desire,
And so eye say goodbye to you,
And hello to my fire.
