Black
Home
Back to my Poetry link
I turn around and fall
Yet another time I hit the wall
That is gonna hurt more
Then the last sore
Black, purple and blue
Are the only colors that show through
This light complexion
But the whole thing was a misconception
I tried to make him understand
But he won't do anything without his belt in hand
I hate him so much
But how can I leave the touch?
He says that I can do better
But I can't sew that damn sweater
Maybe it is my fault
Like a virus that is caught
I get up on my feet
And he pulls up a seat
As he says "You are a whore,
So why don't you just scream for more"
Next thing I see
He is all over me
I hate it when his touch
Travels down, this is too much
Crying does no good
I couldn't, even if it would
He'd just hit me again
And say that I am ugly as sin
So here I am
Alone with Sam
But my only hope
Seems to come from a rope
If this is the end
Then let my hell begin
Let him die for everything
Because I am black for nothing
