AS GOD IS MY WITNESS

Your Name: JAMES HEATH,JR

Title of Poem: "AS GOD IS MY WITNESS"


ONCE I WAS GUILTY, OF NOT SEEING YOU
BECAUSE I STILL LOOKED TO THE PAST
WHEN TODAY AND TOMORROW INSTEAD, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY CONCERN,
AND JUST AS I NOTICED THE WOMAN YOU ARE
YOU LEFT ME FOR SOMEBODY ELSE
A MISTAKE TO THIS DAY, I REGRET...BUT IT HELPED ME TO LEARN.
BUT SEE, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT WHO "I" AM NOW
YOU SEE ME IN YESTERDAY MODE
BUT BABY I'VE GROWN SO MUCH MORE THAN THE MAN YOU KNEW THEN,
I'VE HUMBLED MYSELF BEFORE GOD, AND NOW YOU
THE LADY, I WANT AS MY WIFE
IF ONLY YOU'D LOOK AT ME NOW, AND NOT JUST FROM BACK WHEN.
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, I SEE MY FINE BLACK QUEEN
IN ME YOU NOW HAVE YOUR BLACK KING
WHO WOULD GIVE YOU THE WORLD OF MY HEART, ON A SOLID GOLD PLATTER.
WITH YOU IM ROMANTIC AND LOVING AND STRONG
WITH YOU IM ALREADY, A HUSBAND
WHO NEEDS YOU BESIDE ME,TO MAKE MY LOVE...AND MY LIFE, MATTER
BABY, I'LL LOVE YOU ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN
I BREATHE, EAT AND THINK...ONLY YOU
THERE ISN'T MUCH MORE I COULD WRITE TO CONVINCE YOU OF THIS,
SO PLEASE KNOW THESE WORDS, AS THEY FLOW FROM MY HEART...
COULD ONLY BE WRITTEN, FOR YOU
AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, YOUR LOVE BABY, I TRULY MISS.
