Safeguard

Contributed by lost_chadow on Tuesday, 12th December 2006 @ 08:40:56 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



How...dare...you
tell me that gangsta and I are just alike?
I see you come in contact with these fools
and I know you see me fighting not to be cruel
but you know what...you're right
I can't even win this fight
because even if I gave you my life
my tombstone would still read "Trifling"
So tell me, why am I even trying
What new sickness touches my brain
that has me wishing you pain?
'Cause I swear I'll twist my head off
if it would just make you safe.
So go ahead and tell me what's wrong the male race
Tell me about how I steal your heart
just to crush it in your face.
Tell me about how I pretend to be abstinent
just so I can tell my homeboys how I took you to my place
Tell me no matter how hard I try to help you,
it will only be running game.
Tell me no matter how much I love you
the only thing I deserve is shame
'Cause even though you take my hugs and kisses
and throw them away, just dismiss 'em
I still mean it when I say
I'd erase myself from time and space
if I thought it would keep you safe.

There seems to be some very heartfelt, but careless, devotion to a lifestyle the may not hold to the vanguards of stability. Second read of your work and I'm intrigued. Read more later.

and they dont even know who you are.
