Mi Amistad

So we fucked, we chilled

rolled a blunt and tyme we killed.

Yea..you made me laugh..

put a smile on my face

but I can only think about

what we were when we moved in this place.

This night was just like any other.

With us goofin' and jokin' on each other..

I have to admit...I was a lil' blazed..

When you asked me I thought about the old days.

"Come watch this movie wit me" you said.

"It's from the beginning" you said.

My mind said..

"I just want to breath the same air as you"

So my heart and mouth said

"yes" while I played off irritance with an eyeroll.

We watched Amistad..

Amistad with my amistad.

And I don't know if it was the herb..

Or

if it really was the best fucking movie I've ever experienced.

I saw black bodies chained and changed.

I saw confusion and turmoil.

I saw you..through this movie.

And for you...mi amistad...I cried.

It was definately the part where they drowned the slaves.

Where you could see them from the underwater perspective..

being pulled down into a death in chains...into a watery grave.

it was at that part that I stopped breathing.

Because I saw this life for you..my Amistad.

And I turned to look at you..which gave me back my breath.

Because you were on the floor not breathing also.

Tears were streaming down the face of my strong black amistad...

I breathed only to help you breath.

Picking you up from the floor I shoke da shyt out of you.

I shoke you because I loved you,

Because I couldn't figure out what was happening...

Because I was scared for you.

I asked you.."what...what's wrong"...

You cried and attempted to explain while jumbling your words.

Left the room...made a few calls..came back to me..

and simply said..

" I need to get my life right"

It was then...that I knew that I loved you.

I saw god in you like I never did before.

I wanted to be Mrs. Amistad..

because more than ever before..

You were my friend.
