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!
