I Didn’t

I Didn’t

I didn't want to be one of those girls who tripped just because you wouldn't come to bed!
I was able to give you your space
I didn't want to be one of those girls who tripped if you went out some nites
I was down wit dat!! Cause most dudes can't get that
A true Chicka down ass bitch to take care of your every need
But after 10 years I wasn't enough wasn't satisfying or being sensitive like she was
It was just conversation that's what you said
But look how things ended up
Really F'd up
Every time I think about u talking to her giving her your time on my dime
Oh hell naw that aint cool!!!
I know we've traveled down a dark road or 2 and bounced back stronger than ever.
Never had no major thing to serious to come between us and the one thing
I knew for sure unfaithfulness would never become a factor
How wrong I was
So excuse me if I'm not giving U what your accustomed 2
But I gotta build back up what U tore down just for a little conversation

Re: I Didn’t

I think this reads too much like a letter. Maybe you should try to break it up a bit. Example, something like:

I didn't want to be
one of those girls
who tripped
just because
you wouldn't come to bed..

Just an opinion...

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
