BUT
IT
CHANGED
FOR
A
WHILE, I
HAD
THE
FIRST
THIRD
After a while it reverted to the third,
third
Among other things,
she was tired of the second, third
Second thoughts turned
to second words
Took a second, but I got the message
Took me a day and a second,
but I concurred I prefer to be alone than not be preferred
I guess that's what happens
to a dream deferred
Slept to gether,
shared a bed, but our dreams different
A lot of coulda, woulda, shouldas,
even maybe if -as
But if an if woulda made a difference
To a living afterlife so legendary
Maybe love would've
been unconditional
For such a thing suggested
if it's unnecessary
Even now writing this,
using coded language
More so to save face and try
to hide the anguish
So sudden looking back
I can see it coming
Devastating but I ain't
got time to languish
Take out my chest and flex my back
To make a tough hard bread for
a broken heart sandwich
Hope you took enough to last
till your one way trip is done
I hope you're wise enough to not waste it on the trail of breadcrumbs
1, 2, 1, 2...
Can't even 1 or 2...
Can't even don't sound right...
1, 2, 1, 2...
1, 2...
1,
1, 2...
1, 2...
Still don't sound right...
You tried the truth through
trials and tribulations
You were tired of my trial and error
With lies you tried to hide
Some say the try is to fail
My nana said nothing beats
a failure but a try
And what am I but a man trying
to trade in one coat for another
From the very same leopard seat
A different place every year
with the same spots
Tried by fire with no double jeopardy
From the plot where you dig
to do all your building
To the twist that puts you in
a separate building
And
Mrs.
Lovejoy said to think of the children
My bond is my choice of words,
God forever will it
And it can never be enough,
ironic cause it was never enough
When our jerseys were the same
A different city in the front
Yours is light, mine is dark
But our kids' replicas
bear the same name
We on the same team
Forever scrimmaging
The chemistry diminished
Can never be replenished
And I do right by you
Reside on the other side of whatever
I'ma still remain right by you
The verdict sent for her husband
Criminal negligence
Claims self -defense
But guilty as a son of man
We both say it's a freedom or hard labor
To make two daughters and a son understand
I'll see
I'll
You
