Akkina Downing Poet Free verse

He's Not the One

Baby girl please listen to me 
Don't fall in love so soon
He's fooling you
Don't let your innocent mind be fooled from his sweet charming 
Read the lies in his eyes
Don't get comfortable with his hugs 
He's an empty soul
Be the one with a mature sense because you're smart and know better 
He's full of himself
Look beyond his handsomeness 
His heart is a black coal 
He's nothing but trouble 
Baby girl please listen to me 
Don't go fall in love with him because he's got a BMW and a few bucks to treat you
He's a show off heartbreaker no good for you
Don't sell your pure heart to him my girl
He's not the one... Trust me!

       Smile
