Skin

My first bi-racial love.

What does it really matter?
The color of your skin
Does it really matter?
Tell me what happens then
My parents say it matters
So do all my friends
But what if all that matters
Is what is buried deep within
How would I ever know?
The pleasure from your touch
How could I ever know?
I can not describe as much
Too many thoughts invade my mind
Your eyes, your lips, your skin
Beginning to develop new fears
Knowing you and I could never be
Still I would like to try
Just to confirm a mutual bond
To see if you would pass ME by
So answer my question you cowards, you cads
Do you believe it to be a sin?
What does it really matter the color of his skin?
