You Should’ve Been Mine ~Poetry

You Should’ve Been Mine

You should've been mine
Cuz that bitch, she don't appreciate you
You said it yourself many times before
Now I say it and I'm outta line
You should've been mine
I should have met you first
I would've been your baby mama
I would've given birth
To a beautiful child
I would stood by you in your darkest times
Had your back and been the thorough-est chick
When you was locked up I would've played my position
But since you ain't mine, I can't play a position I wasn't given
You mad cuz I didn't pick up where she left off
But sorry boo
I can't play fool
Give you what she should and then you come home and that bitch get the goods
Fuck you
Must be out your mind if you think I'm that stupid
And I must be psychic or something
Cuz what did you do?
Went back to her like boo-boo the fool
But I can't be mad because I expected too much from you
When I already knew
Already knew, no matter what she did, she would be your 1st choice
She is your baby moms so I didn't even have a voice
Couldn't be real and tell you how I feel
Had to back up and give you room to breathe
Tried to let go of a relationship that I couldn't achieve
My love is very much still here
Still very much real
Wish you would mean what you say and say what you mean
I keep going round and round with this thing
But I can't be your mistress or "well kept secret" as you put it
Cuz nothing I have or give obligates you to me
We have no ties other than our attraction
And that's what bothers me
I thought we connected on a deeper level
Thought the love I felt was special
Thought you loved me too
Maybe I was a means to an end until you could get back to what mattered the most to you
Your baby moms
I don't get it
What hold does she have over you?
Your daughter?
That's crazy
You ain't gotta deal with her just to take care of your baby
I can't understand a man who wants a woman who only want him for what he can do for her
Why you think she had your daughter?
Meal ticket!!!!
But you too in love to see it huh?
Damn shame, but again
I can't be mad
I'm a Virgo too so I know it's hard to let go when you love someone so deep
That's why it's so hard for me to walk away from you
Even though you creep
Look at me, acting like you my man cheating on me
This some bullshit, your actions cut me deep
Made me wanna take it to the street
Yell out loud, "Look what this nucca done to me"
But you know that's not me, cuz it's not you
We one in the same, two stupid ass fools
Cuz I can't leave you alone and you can't leave her alone
So I'm just alone
Wondering where I went wrong
Loving a man who didn't and never did belong to me
Realizing that you and I probably will never be
See, you should've been mine
Should have been my all
I'm one of a kind
Maybe it was all in my mind
So I guess I'll see you 'Next Lifetime'
When maybe, just maybe you'll be mine
I love you Big Homie
