Black Rhyme

I do hate to write
Even more to rhyme
But I’ll do either one
To save my mind
I hope you’ll listen
And I hope I can say
The things I’ll expose
Though I doubt it’ll pay

You needed me
So I came for you
Now I am here
But nothing is new
What have I said
That you’ve actually heard?
When have you listened
To more than a word?

Sometimes I doubt
If your feelings are true
Do you mean what you say?
Or is callousness you?
If we are in a rut
Then I’ll understand
But if you don’t care
Then I won’t hold your hand

I thought if I gave you
A small piece of myself
It would be cherished
Not sit on a shelf
I thought you could love me
For longer than this
I thought you’d stay by me
And life would be bliss

But I truly won’t stand
To be just ‘your girl’
I thought I was more
Since you are my world
Yes, I am still in love
And this will not end
But being rid of you
Could help me to mend

And you are black in my eyes
But alive in my heart
Can't help who I love
Even if we do part
There's a certain presence
A cosmic magnet inside
It draws us together
And from you I can’t hide

I will always love you
It won’t end with time
But I must end you and I
To save this bad rhyme
I will always love you
Because you are my world
You’ll stay in my heart
But I can’t be your girl
