I have tried to love you the best I can,
But no matter how hard I try you find fault.
I've tried, Lord knows I have,
But you ain't gon' love me, cause I ain't him.
I have concluded.
No matter the moment, nor the sacrifice,
You won't love me.
Would it matter if I told you that no one meant more,
I dreamed you into life, would it matter?
I would die if it meant life for you.
But you ain't gon' love me, are you?
‘Cause I ain't him.

'l've tried, lord knows i have,
ReplyDeletebut you ain't gon' love me, cause I ain't him..'
these two lines resonated with me the most in this piece.
your use of sound, language &
dialect, in my opinion, resounded here.
very reminiscent of the south & that southern sound offered a
heaviness & depth
to you, the writers, longing &
hurt.
making the piece that much more tangible, relatable &
accessible.
