The Black Man


Who's there?

The black man.

Skin so dark and rich,

Voice so smooth and tender,

Body so tall and toned.

The black man.

He says, "I have a crush on you"

But how much of that could be true.

I'm sorry to doubt.

I just have trust issues.

I don't seek for trouble

Nor do I want to cause any.

Maybe as time goes by,

You'll be more than just,

The Black Man.
