Black Poem by Sarah Jane Massie

Roses are black, violets are too, what did I say? What did I do? To lose you the way I did, God forbid. Why did I lose you like that? Was it my looks? My personality? You said to look at reality, we come from different worlds you and I, please don't cry! It just has to be, we couldn't work you and me. I still think it was my looks, that I wasn't your true beauty, that you thought of me as ugly, cruel, and maimed. You thought of me as psychotic isn't that the truth? Man I'm crazy, but I'm crazy in love for you. Don't you see? There's a bridge crossing from your world to you, to my world, to me. We could have worked out if you let it, but I think you feared how deeply we connected. Now when you see me, I look unrested, see? I've been crying for you- you broke my heart and you tore us apart. And now, every time I look at you I want to tell you that I still care, I still care about you....
