I just want someone to love me
Someone to want me too
I want someone to make it easy for me to transition
The way she make it easy for you
Never thought that how we came to be could be our end too
I just want someone to want me
To want me like she want you
I am a Woman; and made in the image of the Highest Creator
And I never thought that I would have to say this now
Not ever—forget later
But I just want you to know that this is a favor
Because, I just want someone
Someone to love me
To want me
Like she want you; like the way she do
I been here for 365 shy of one decade
And here you come while I am building, you bring this emotional craze
All because I am defending what’s supposed to be my own
Couldn’t man up to be real with me, and you let my concerns for over a year swell and moan
I could have found someone that wanted to take me home
Not just for the night, but home to his Mom’s
But I been waiting, patient
Waitin…. Waitin on you
While you been auditionin’ the next prospect for you
All this time wanting it to be just Us—Us Two
But there you were, looking for something else to do
Hoping to find someone else to *****
Your lies many-plenty while words of truth were few
Maybe I should have been preparing a place to show my face and get out of the race I been in with you—and her by design…
I am too old for this ******* and the ease of your lyin’
Im tired of crying, and Im tired of living and giving to you
I have lost so much of myself trying to be more for you and make it through
And now I am just sitting here…
With this ache in my heart;
some people say I need to do it over, but I don’t know where to start
Because once you love someone else more than yourself
Trying to heal that wound is the hardest part
And ****, I never thought—I never thought I would actually call you one of them
But you did little to distance yourself from your trifling kin
And I will try to smile all the while and believe all your supposed-to-be truths
Trying to turn the leaf over, and start once again new
I just don’t know if there is something else I am supposed to do
Maybe I fell too far, maybe past In Love with you
I just want someone
I want someone
To love me
Love Me
Like, Really LOVE me
The way… you used to do…
But maybe that is past; maybe that’s because you are no longer in Love with Me
Because I can’t love you…. Love you the way…
She do.
