MY LOVE FOR YOU

A Poem by Rich

my love for u
is like an angel
flyin through the sky like a bird in the winter and
my love for u
is so deep
its sorta like the ground beneath the gravel of a ravine
my love for u
lives on
like the memory of aaliyah singin her last song
and my love for u
will never die
like a black child strugglin in the ghetto to survive

grl i dont understand
whats goin on between u and me
every time i look at u
i get the vibe that we could never be
i just sit there and stare at u
for a minute or 2 or 3
then when im done
its u who stares at me
got me thinkin
maybe u care for me
maybe theres a chance
u wanna be there for me
got me fallin for her all over again
completely and carelessly
got me thinkin all the time
"i wonder where is she"
got me thinkin how perfect she is
especially when compared to me
always got these thoughts on my mind
to the point where theyre simply
takin over all my thoughts
to the point where theres no repairin me
but truth is i know u dont love me
it just seems so unfair to me
but i love u still
theres so much despair in me

cus my love for u
is resistless
it just overpowers me with such amazin persistence
my love for u
is so deep
its sorta like the lowest point of the ocean or the sea
my love for u
lives on
like the memory of left eye singin her last song
and my love for u
will never die
like an angel lookin down on us from the sky

grl u just dont understand
how bad i wanna get next to u
every time i think about u
i get restless, u
got my whole heart
my minds obsessed with u
i cant get u out of my thoughts
my love i confess to u
i sent u a message while i was drunk
got so upset when u
aint reciprocate the feelins
that i expressed to u
been tryin to move on
been tryin to accept that u
dont feel the same way for me
but i cant get over the concept that u
feel absolutely nuffin
its like im dead to u
but truth is
its proly whats best for u
even tho id do all those things
all the rest wont do
id show u nuffin but
complete respect to u
if i was broke and had next to nuffin
id give what i had left to u
id give my life just to keep u happy
id gladly breathe my last breath for u
hell if u wanted me to
id grow breast for u
i care for u that much
that aint no jest its true
when it comes to what id do for u
theres no contestant who
would do more for u than i would do
my love has transgressed for u
and even tho i die a lil each day
im glad ive been blessed by u

my love for u
is eternal
its sorta like the souls that made it past hells inferno
my love for u
is so deep
its sorta like the reason why the air is there but unseen
my love for u
lives on
like the memory of big and pac singin their last song
and my love for u
will never die
like the never endin line of people who ask the lord "why?"

people dont seem to understand
why im losin my demeanor
u got me totally mesmerized
by that coke bottle figure
from the smell of ur hair
to the tips of ur fingers
from the moment i first saw ur complexion
and ur perfection i became a dreamer
never believed in love at first sight
but girl u made me a believer
knew i wanted to wife her
from the first moment i seen her
catchin chills up and down my spine
so seriously im bout to suffer a seizure
got me wantin to change the world for her
wantin to make the grass beneath her greener
wantin to make the world a perfect place for her
wantin to make the ground she graces cleaner
wantin to make life as easy as can be
let her do what she wants at her leisure
dont want her to feel any sadness at all
i just wanna please her
wanna cuddle with her in bed
as we joke around and i tease her
kiss her on her cheek and neck
as i hold her tight and gently squeeze her
and wisper in her ear how much i love her
and how i never would leave her

my love for u
is infinite like math
itll never stop and will never end, girl u best believe that
my love for u
is so deep
its sorta like a black rose in the concrete
my love for u
lives on
like the memory of marvin gay singin his last song
and my love for u
will never die
so long as theres salt in the tears i cry
