A. Pierced. Heart. Poem by Crystal Tutson

An irreparable hole dug in my heart,
emotions escaping tearing me apart.
I never thought our paths would end this way,
I was excited about you, I was literally gay.
my heart pounded when our eyes contacted each other
because I had laid eyes on one fine black brother.
Who told me things my ears itched to hear,
I longed to feel your lips and your body ever so near.
An opportunity came and I wanted to seize
but in reality you didn't; my thoughts 'girl please.'
My mind is spinning while emotions drain from my heart effortlessly
I wanted it so bad it wasn't meant for me.
