Give Me Some Hope

"Write me a poem Mr. Poetry man"

"Okay...As a matter of fact, I did write you somethin...and It go a little somethin like this.."

The sun may shine..
but not like the light in these
eyes of mine..
When I look at you babe../

But my poor heart aches...
when I ponder my fate..
and a future that doesn't include
you baby.../

because I'm in love with you..
and you're in love with him...
To you I'm just some dude...
Some dude you consider a friend.../

We have so much fun..
but then your phone rings ,
you get a text and you got to run...
always runnin to him girl.../

Why can't you see...
that the one you need to be with
is me...
,why you runnin to him baby?/

If you'd just give me half a chance...
I wouldn't have to keep writin poems like this
about you../

baby if you'd open your eyes
one mornin and see...
that I should be more than your
number two.../

Just give me some hope baby...
sugar baby
If you'd just give me half a chance...
I wouldn't have to keep writin poems like this
about you../

Just give me some hope darlin..
 open your eyes
one mornin and see...
that I should be more than your
number two.../

You're always gettin on a bus,
catchin a subway, callin a cab to run to him...
but I never see him rushin to you...
Girl, you're gonna wear your new shoes
out...
Come on baby, At least I just live around
the block from you.../

Damn baby...
How long am I gonna lust after you?...
Damn it girl...
How long you gonna make me wait...
Damn baby...
How long am I gonna keep writin these kind of
poems for you...???
One day...I'm gonna hesitate..../

Did I write that...??
Oh...that word just seemed to fit .....

"Wow Mr. Poetry man...I just asked you to write me a poem...not give me a testimony."

"That is poetry baby...testimonies....truth...my truth..."

Just give me some hope baby...
sugar baby
If you'd just give me half a chance...
I wouldn't have to keep writin poems like this
about you../

Just give me some hope darlin..
 open your eyes
one mornin and see...
that I should be more than your
number two.../
