Dating a Black Girl
You
tried to define me
reduce towers to rubble
the relationship imploded
now who's in trouble?
controlled demolition
you must have pulled it
tho' I didn't see you do it
steel washed to grey
you weren't harmed
but you were gone
yes, you were gone
somewhere secure
hiding, smiling
I was crying
I was dying
days changed to years
your victory thrills turned to pills
swollen swine
honey, you rolled in the mire
your lost kiss haunted
yet my motivation was fine
yes I realigned
yes I realigned
you lied a thousand times
you lied a thousand times
tears flowed rivers, yet time was on my side
the gods glued me back together
and where are you now girl?
hell if I know
hell if I care
I cared for you, but I don't stare back
the past is gone
I've heard where you live
and exactly what you'd give to be back here in my arms
you turned our world to black
take a sharp look at these callused hands
they'll never take you back
no, I won't take you back
