Just a pretty thought,
I don’t want to act a fool for anyone anymore.

One day you'll mean the world to someone.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be with you,
but right now it just can't be me and you.
You choose to ignore all the reasons why,
Why it just isn't right,
Why it wouldn't work out.
Our connection is depthless.
Your concept of love is so naive.
You're quick to rush into a relationship,
Seeing your future in every pretty girl that walks your way.
Baby that isn't love at first sight
And this just doesn't feel right.
I can't force it,
My mind craves something deeper,
Longing for intellection.
Don't take this as a rejection.
Your lover is somewhere out there.
Waiting for you to come along and hold her tight.
You'll be the one to treat her right.
For that I'm reluctant to let you go.
Fearing that no one will ever treat me the way you do.
For that I'm self-seeking.
You don't deserve my selfish intentions.
My broken heart is not your dilemma.
So I guess this is my goodbye,
Maybe we'll be together in another lifetime.

I just want you to understand where I'm coming from.
I tell you time and time again that you have to change.
I'm willing to be your motivation,
but first you have to weigh in,
work on yourself,
be the best that you can be.
Your immaturity is hindering.
Please stop the life your leading.
Don't be another statistic.
A young black man,
so much potential left unkept.
I just want to see you thrive.
One day you'll look back and understand,
but right now you lack the capacity to comprehend.

Imagine if it was just me and you.
What a dream that would be.
You're nothing like my last.
Call me just to hear my voice.
You don't let your pride get in the way.
Tell me time and time again that you wish I would be yours.
I know you would treat me right.
For me you'd put up a good fight,
but this is a match that you're not ready for.
Consider this the standing count of eight.
I see I'm leaving you hurt,
that's not my intention.

I mean I used to like you.
I'll give you that.
Used to want you by my side,
with your lips on mine.
Oh God couldn't have created anything more beautiful.
But now those feelings are faded.
Wait let me say that again.
The feelings I had for you are gone.
Thank you God.
You no longer have a hold on me.
The things you do no longer affect me.
It feels nice to be certain.
I don't want you or your games.
Just thought you should know,
your poetry isn't enough to keep a girl that gets lost in her own pretty words.

Wish you could be my escape,
but you're the one causing the pain.
At this point I'm starting to blame myself.
Let you know how I feel,
then the effort is lost.
Constantly feeling ignored.
I have to stop expecting more.
The love I give is never translated back to me.
You never seem to give me your time.
No longer feeling worth it.
You tell me I'm special,
your actions speak differently.
Don't treat me like you promised you would.
Why do I even bother?
It's just this thought in my head,
this feeling that your love will be inordinate.
Something special that keeps me waiting,
waiting for you to open up to me,
for you to love me.
want me,
care for me,
maybe even fall for me.

My patience is running thin.
I don't say any of this as a threat,
just a warning of what's to come
I no longer know what I'm waiting for.
What will come out of this?
I thought it would be love,
a connection,
a friend,
someone to care for me,
but that's just all hopes and dreams.
Right now I need someone by my side.
I'm not emotionally stable.
I looked at you to be that person,
to show me you cared and help me cope.
A solution to my sleepless nights.
I need to bring myself to reality.
Constantly asking myself the same question,
what more does he have to do to show you he doesn't care?
I've given you your space.
Now I guess I'll just leave you alone.
It ***** that I can't help it,
but I still feel the same about you.
I still want to be with you,
I still want to cherish you,
I want to be the one that motivates you to do better.
All that is weightless now.
What I want doesn't matter if you don't want it too.
If you find yourself missing me just hope it's not too late.

I make posts to throw hints at you.
This is a child's game.
A game of likes and comments that seems to be lacking a player.
I must've accidentally picked single player mode when this started.
Child's play that you choose not to take part in.

I talk about you to my friends like this is something real.
I mean I can't hold it back when you're always on my mind.
They think you're the most amazing man ever.
Never would I tell them the pain you bring me at night.
Overthinking as I lay my head to rest.
I mean I am just a little girl,
why would you want to end there?
Maybe you just want to keep your options open.
I mean this might not work out in the end,
at least that's the vibe you're giving off.
I turn to poetry to let you know how I really feel.
Every word made off my sleep deprived mind,
yet you're still the number one thing on it.
I melt into the thought of being with you and I'm not scared to show that off.

When it comes to me it's just,
messages left without responses,
phone calls left without attempts,
and efforts left surrendered.
I lay here contemplating,
thinking,
why don't you show me off?
