I waited in vain for your validation In hopes that maybe you’d see me The way I saw you, beloved Sadly, you viewed me like thin air While I was mesmerized by your cappuccino skin And the way your hair danced in the wind You couldn’t give a **** about me I was just one of many who looked your way Even as I would ignore you in plain sight I would beg for your attention in my head But you only threw crumbs at me Like I was some lost street pigeon Keep your linty crumbs for someone else The hell you think you are? I am deserving of so much riches Yet I feel like some vagabond

Crumbs
I waited in vain for your validation In hopes that maybe you’d see me The way I saw you, beloved Sadly, you viewed me like thin air While I was mesmerized by your cappuccino skin And the way your hair danced in the wind You couldn’t give a **** about me I was just one of many who looked your way Even as I would ignore you in plain sight I would beg for your attention in my head But you only threw crumbs at me Like I was some lost street pigeon Keep your linty crumbs for someone else The hell you think you are? I am deserving of so much riches Yet I feel like some vagabond
