Peace Feels Better Than Love

Peace Feels Better Than Love

You read me wrong, I was barely holding on
Hospital sheets, I was fighting just to breathe strong
Phone light glow, your words hitting like a rerun
Funny how you thought I had the time to play along

I was in a place you couldn’t even picture
Pain in my body, but your doubts hit quicker
You was reading texts, I was dodging death
Different kind of pressure, you don’t feel that depth

I could’ve argued, could’ve said my side
But something in me told me let it slide
You showed me everything without a lie
Sometimes silence louder than a reply

Peace feels better than proving my love
I stopped reaching when you questioned my blood
Now I move like I got nothing to lose
And it’s crazy… I don’t miss you like I thought I would

Love don’t live here anymore
I locked that door
You can keep the doubt you wore
I found something pure

Peace feels better
Yeah, peace feels better

You was looking for a reason, I was looking for relief
Two different timelines, two different kinds of grief
You saw confusion, I was seeing clear
Had to lose you just to see me here

Now I breathe different, I don’t force vibes
If it feel off, I just let it slide
I don’t chase closure, I let time talk
Some things fade better when you don’t fight

I ain’t bitter, I just leveled up
Turned that pressure into better love
Now when I give it, it’s intentional
You taught me what I’ll never touch

Peace feels better than proving my love
I stopped reaching when you questioned my blood
Now I move like I got nothing to lose
And it’s crazy… I don’t miss you like I thought I would

Love don’t live here anymore
I locked that door
You can keep the doubt you wore
I found something pure

Peace feels better
Yeah, peace feels better

No hard feelings, just hard lessons
Had to lose you for progression
Now my heart don’t second guess it
What’s for me gon’ feel effortless

You ain’t lose me to nobody else
You lost me to myself
And that’s something you can’t compete with

Peace feels better…

    This hit harder than some would think, I love your word play.

  2. Sir, I came across your page by listening to your interview, I believe turning your poetry into music is genius. It’s such a vibe.

    Oh you are speaking to someone, this is personal.

  4. A few takes or questions..

    Did someone doubt you were hurting and you broke up?
    Is this being creative or reality?
    I would really love to sit in on a creative process with you.

  5. Does this mean you’re single? Searching for peace? or You found peace after a heartbreak?

  6. Did you just give us a song with a poem? 🫨 Is this something to look forward to? Where have I been? 🙆🏾‍♀️
