Oldie but goodie:
You Want Control
You just have to have the upper hand
You gotta be the bigger man
Even if it costs hurting me
Your lies are more important than the pain and grief
That you cause me when you play with my head
Tell me one thing and do another instead
You cant handle the fact that Ive moved on
Don't want me to call you on the phone
And ask for something that has nothing to do with you
Maybe assistance or a little help with the move
Is that the only reason you called? you ask
Why else should I be calling? I don't hide behind masks
Like you do, its so plain to see
Your youth, denial, and mediocrity
I don't have time for the games, though I did in the past
I wanna see you hurt, want it to happen fast
You reap what you sew is what they say
What goes around comes around, it'll happen one day
But I want what hes sewn to reap right now
I want the come around to come and don't know how
I can let go of this desire that I have of you
To see you down on your knees crawling in plain view
Of the world to see the agony that you caused me
Want you to beg for mercy, cry like a child
Give me praying hands while I laugh out loud
But knowing me, Ill only forgive
Give you one more chance and a day to live
And change the things you did to me
Make right the wrongs and erase the grief.

Beautiful prose, babygirl. I had to sit and read it a couple times. I share the sentiments of a few things you spoke. Is it a personal poem?
Thanks! I know, its a little hard to follow. I need to go and fix that...
Yeah, it's personal. I wrote it three years back about a guy that I was "in love" with.
you betta write my life, girl.
lol.
great.
it's weird going back and looking at old poems and seeing how much you've grown, isn't it?
