If Loving You Was A Crime Poem by Abdul-Qadir Abdul-Mumin

If loving you was a crime
Let the world charge me for murder, for I won't stop the killing
I want to steal your time
Yes, I'm also good at stealing
When the world rejects me
Accept me
When the world insults me
Compliment me
Let me be a wanted lover
Breaking a fresh coconut just to find it filled with sea water
The disappointment, the rage, the anger
I don't care, for all I want is to be your owner
I would advertise my picture and tag it "wanted"
I would contact the police to get me arrested
But don't break my heart, don't let me feel rejected
Don't treat me like I'm unwanted
I can't stop loving you
I just don't know how to
I really really want to
Because it's getting me into trouble
Teach me how to hate you
Teach me how to not want to be with you
Teach me how to stop thinking about you
Teach me how live without you
