In Love with a Man

In Love with a Man

A Poem by Maxine Itsov

Momma, momma I’m in love with a man.

I love him with everything I have,

And for what, he’s just a man?

 

Momma, momma I’m in love with a thief.

He stole my heart,

I love him beyond belief.

 

Momma, momma I’m in love with a murderer.

He massacred my heart and stole my soul,

Someone call the preacher.

 

Daddy, daddy I’m in love with the devil.

He sits on my shoulder proudly,

Knowing that whatever he does is admissible.

 

Daddy, daddy I’m in love with a monster.

I wept the day our eyes met,

Praying to God that I wouldn’t fall closer.

 

Daddy, daddy I’m in love with a man.

I can’t stop loving him,

Even the distance that I ran.
