funeral

To the man who thought my pussy

Was his playground,

That girl you used know

She died long ago

There was no funeral

For the going out of her smile.


She got buried beneath your bullshit.

No one could see through it.


That girl had the body of a woman

Still, she was someone’s child.

You were a grown ass man

But she got chastised

For the way your eyes

Supervised her thighs.


She got buried beneath your bullshit.

No one could see through it.


They left out the snakes

In the story of the birds and the bees

That’s where you came slithering in.

Sinking your teeth into her skin

Telling her that it was nothing but fun

When your lips were laced with poison.


She got buried beneath your bullshit.

No one could see through it.


That girl didn’t realize it was wrong

Until you were constricting her with your arms

Telling her to put on her mother’s thong.

She couldn’t fight or flight,all she did was freeze.

Her blood be as cold as a corpse, Her body be as stiff as your erection

Her life slipped away without detection.


She got buried beneath your bullshit.

No one could see through it.





Ten years later...and no one seems to know

That you stabbed that girl right in the childhood, leaving her lifeless.

And your ugly head rears itself again as you dance on my grandmama’s grave.

And you’re the same man trying to make it rain where he can’t make it grow.

And that girl’s body remains still and cold,

yet you’re the same menace trying to conjure up her ghost.


That girl you used know

Her days are over.

She got buried beneath your bullshit.

—but I,I finally see through it.
