Black Man I love you... and I hate you


Black man,
For just being you, I love you
You are my better & stronger half.

Black man,
I love you for never complaining or crying,
But I hate you for seeing my own femininity as weakness

Black man,
I love you for how hard you work & sweat to provide,
But I hate you for forgetting that it’s you that I love, not your money

Black man,
I love you for your strength, for being the head of our home,
But I hate how you’ve forgotten to be a bit gentle sometimes

Black man,
I love you coz you don’t believe in hitting women,
But I hate you for the scars that your words leave behind

Black man,
I love you for the beautiful love and intimacy we share
But I hate you for sharing what’s mine with all those other women

Black man,
I love you for expecting nothing but the best from me,
But I hate you for expecting me to live with less from you

Black man,
I love you for seeing that I am beautiful,
But I hate you for not seeing me as anything more.

Black man,
I love you, for your humble heart,
But I hate you for not seeing just how amazing to me you are.

Black man,
I love you for trying so hard to be everything I need,
But I hate you for not realising it’s not necessary, coz all I need you already are

Black man,
I love you for loving me,
But I hate you for not letting your guard down, and letting me love you in return...
