I write this letter because I am heartbroken
Heartbroken because of my brother’s misunderstanding
Misunderstanding because you ain’t listening
You’re not listening to what we ain’t saying
We ain’t saying for fear of being forsaken
Forsaken because of the naming and shaming
Shaming because of the games you be playing
Playing because you ain’t respecting
Ain’t respecting because you ain’t appreciating
Ain’t appreciating because you too have been forsaken
Forsaken because nobody is understanding
Ain’t understanding because nobody is listening
Ain’t listening because you ain’t speaking
Ain’t speaking because you too fear the shaming
The shaming for being a man with emotions
Emotions that you really should be celebrating
Celebrating because you are a man that is living
Living because you’ve learned the art of expression
Yet, you ain’t expressing because you are hurting
Hurting because you no longer respecting
Ain’t respecting because you have been broken
Broken because you took a shot at loving
Now, you no longer loving
No longer listening
So you stay cold while I..
While I be heartbroken
Because I am a woman
Longing for your loving
