Literature Text

Ever been on the edge, ready to fall
Ready to give it all
But you're scared and cold
But you need to be bold
So you try and get through
But what I needed was you
So I called out your name
Cause this isn't a game
Wasn't it a shame
When all you got was the blame
So I took the time
Now all I have is this rhyme
And the fact that I care about you
Even if I hate your crew
And you knew
Cause it's the way that you kept me away
Because I thought I didn't have a say
Now you're here
And I feel the fear
Of losing you to this game
The fact that you came
Doesn't mean that you care
You just want me bare
To your influence and lies
But I've gotten wise
To the fact that you hate me
And you won't let me be
I know you want me dead
But first you want me in your bed
I didn't give in
And now we'll both sin
You'll shoot a gun
I'll try to run
But the truth is it's done
You've killed me today
And you'll never have to pay
For the blood you shed
The blood that ran red
No one misses chicks like me
Truth is they'd rather not see
They'd rather not know
Cause it's not part of the show
The show that runs our lives
I dunno if this should be in urban and spoke word, but there it is.

I haven't done rhyming poetry in a long while, so this was like a breath of fresh air, haha. I had an image in mind, I dunno if I got it across, but even if I didn't, it was an excellent work out.
