Black girl/white boy

heart-3085515_1920

We wore our skin

Like it was our identity!

Drifted apart by history in the making

We had no chance

We had no choice

In that cold world!

Black girl was no match

For a white boy

White boy had no chance

At a black girl

From a distance,

Was our only chance

To love!
