(crying eyes) (11/28/10)

originally: nov. 28, 2010
i want love from a person on earth
my other half
of my soul
i feel as if that wish were hallow
shallow
never to be fulfilled
it's hopelessness

update: july 17, 2019
who knew
my other half
was me
but i could not see her
she was hidden
under hatred, jealousy, embarrassment
how could i love a black girl
when black girls were told to not love themselves?
my other half is not a man
a lover
my other half
is the better part of me
that was resilient and powerful
and now that i have both pieces
i love me
