I never wanted it to be “us”,
\nYou couldn’t let it rest.
\nYou wanted to prove to me
\nYou were my man I guess.
\nFor a few good months,
\nYou introduced me to this caring, loving man,
\nThat he was qualified to spoil me in hugs and kisses, cuddle and hold my hand.
\nHe was a sweetheart, well at least that’s what I thought,
\nI couldn’t share my secrets with you,
\nYou were unhappy and you acted like it was my fault.
\nI couldn’t be WHO I was,
\nIt was too much for you,
\nYou felt out of context if I shared my deepest experiences I went through.
\nYou didn’t know how to make me smile even when I was down,
\nOur business spreader to everyone but me, it was all over town.
\nI tried to explain to you
\nI was private, I didn’t like people feeling the need to discuss you and I.
\nYou acted like I was mean,
\nLike we weren’t grown enough for us,
\nAnd you had the audacity to feel embarrassed if I was upset and would cuss.
\nI don’t remember how we ended,
\nI just know you lied,
\nYou showed no remorse with your new woman,
\nInside I crumbled, broke down and cried.
\nAs time passes I realize I am in greater shape with myself, I portray a new part,
\nI’m not the woman you once knew,
\nI became courageous and stronger since you broke my heart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
