A Fool I Was All the Time

A FOOL WAS I ALL THE TIME He was like coal He was evil like Lucifer He was a monster And his name was Adam One clever day l dumped him The feeling was good The result could not be crude It was sublime, it was magnificent Within a month came another Adam He was chocolate in complexion He was clean and smart A thought passed through my mind They are not the same But it was just Adam with a different pigment One clever day l dumped him also Within a week was another Adam He was tall and hip-hop fresh He was kind and had a dream Wasn’t l attracted? Until one foolish day My eyes fooled me I thought he was different But it was just Adam with a different height I dug a pit and sow to myself I will never in a million times be fooled Didn’t my heart betray me? Didn’t my heart make a full of me Didn’t my heart pain me again? Didn’t my heart fall in the ocean? Just like that other Adam Adam hurt me again... Adam lied to me Adam broke my heart again Adam did it again It’s always the same Adam.
