Hateful Roommates



How did we go from a happy romance to hateful roommates


Let me explain with a rhyming timeline


We went from growing up together to developing a marriage


I’ll truly cherish this big moment in my life


But who knew we would inherit the bad side of things


Started out good, sending premarital late night texts


To ten years of marriage with kids


Marking our calendars for when the sex is


Ending all of our calls, on a sweet I love you note


Now it’s a race to get off the phone, Followed by “goodbye, wait…Hello?”


So now we end calls with no goodbyes?


What happened to the baby I miss you, I love you, and all the sighs


I packed on a few pounds, now you playing my size


I used to look forward to seeing you


Now I can’t wait to say goodbye…


I’m off to work; my supposedly late nights


You off to church; to supposedly get right


But I done road past the church and guess what?


No silver eclipse in site


And I come from work and you ready to fight


Yelling, “WHAT BITCH YOU FUCKING!”, because you smell like…Sweet warm embraces


Now the grip is loosening up, shit just don’t feel right


Now everyday where drifting further apart


You were my love, my soul, my heart


Damn this just doesn’t make sense. I can’t believe I just used you in past tense


The fire that started us, is burning us apart


Pull it out slowly, this knife I speak of in my heart


We went from making a loving eye contact


To scowling stares


Two matching hearts, are now divided into separate pairs


Now you sleep up, and I sleep down stairs


But I’m fed up and I’m ready to go shid


I would have been left yo ass if it wasn’t for the kids!
