Too Tough Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You keep it too rough.
Could you soften up your feelings for me?
Baby you're too tough...
And I feel as if you,
Want to impede...
Upon that peace in me!

I need...
To have it!
I need...
To hold it!
I need...
To never let go,
Of it!

I need...
To have it!
I need...
To hold it!
I need...
To never let go.

It's not an artificial love.
Not this feeling in me.
Not an artificial love.
I'll never share that from me.
Not an artifical love.

I need...
To have it!
I need...
To hold it!
I need...
To never let go,
Of it!

You see in me,
Someone...
Who doesn't cover up and run.

And what I have,
It's not an artificial love.
Not this feeling in me.
Not an artificial love.
You'll never get that from me.
Not an artifical love.

I need...
To have it!
I need...
To hold it!
I need...
To never let go,
Of it!

My peace,
Or leave!
Baby you're too tough.
You can leave me and my peace.
Baby you're too tough.

My peace,
Or leave!
Baby you're too tough.
You can leave me and my peace.
Baby you're too tough.

My peace,
Or leave!
Baby you're too tough.
You can leave me and my peace.
Baby you're too tough.

My peace,
Or leave!
