“O! these naughty times
Puts bars between the owners and their rights” ~ Portia, The Merchant of venice (3:2)

I’m breaking up with you
Before we can be together
Um, according to History we can’t be together, well
We can ,but
we
shouldn’t?
You see love isn’t an appropriate currency in this economy
Whenever I diversify outside of my race
It makes me scared
It’s risky
Gambling on a bad investment
It's safer this way
Keeping a poker face
When they’ll use that language on us
Which they save for incestuous relationships
or teacher/student relationships

I’m tired of the labels
I guess we’re all waiting on the world to change, progress or something
This world is so taxing and I don’t want to be governed anymore
...but I can only see the costs
Instead of what we can profit
Our love will anger so many people and I don’t have any fight left in me
But I know that I’m willing to gamble
To bet
on us
that this won’t work...out
