Cool Breeze

She’s like the wind
Gives me comforts with her cool breeze on the hottest days
Sweet smells of perfume and lovely tracks of her silky voice
She’s found her way into every piece of me
My ups and downs to my aimless thoughts and fooling around
Giving life with every breeze
With her I inhale confidence, spirit, and love
and exhale despair, loneliness, and doubt
I can do anything riding on her natural high
Taking me to places I’ve never been…all within me
I feel myself slipping back into the abyss of addiction
It pulls on every piece of me
Requiring more of me with each whisper of her presence
She’s in every breath I take
See what I mean…

She’s like the wind
Blowin in...then out of my life
But the wind don’t blow much around here no more
Y’all don’t know it but that’s a good thing
I still ain’t recovered from the last time she blew in
Flooding my state of mind like New Orleans streets
The day after Katrina
I wish I could have evacuated before she got here
But where would I go
My cousin Sam round the corner got it the same way
Same storm, same day
and he moved west to the next city
damn if he didn’t get it again
same pain, different day, different place
he moved back home lesson learned…you can’t hide
when she wants you…she'll find you
cuz she’s like the wind
blowin long and hard…in and out of my life
I can’t live with her and I can’t live without her
