"The End..."
  by H.H. Holloway


listen, I realize that our roadmaps are
different -- they're starting to split
to separate routes
and I'm just about out of gas
and I can't go on
you stand there with your Mad Black Woman
assessment
telling me that I'm like the rest
that've come and gone
with no gall of responsible inquiry
I detest that, although I confess that
in the past years that I haven't been
an angel in disguise
not exactly a devil in drag
but a heavy bag dragging this situation
into the mud about as worse
as you have
so here we are -- you tell me I'm ain't shit
and I call you a crazy bitch
and here we are
still on a journey to nowhere
which is why I've decided to switch seats
pick another car and drive off
a few glances back but no return
okay Fine! I'll be that no-good
high yella nigga that wasted six years
of your life --'cause you had so much to lose
and I didn't have nothing, right?
you have a boyfriend that you loved
more than yourself
and you tried to marry him, instead of me
and when he
didn't conform to your policy, you ex-ed him
out and pulled me in with
the promise that you'll be my everything
and that's when the lies began
from both sides of the table
you lied to me, I lied to you
and that was our foundation: A lie
I lied about the fact that I saw us as
unbreakable and oh the sex
was beyond the best that I ever had *splash*
you lied because you didn't pick me
you settled when your "1st" choice
left you out out the cold -- Oh!
and here we are
two fools in a fucked up circumstance
you've accepted that this is over
and that I think this might be best
but oh of course, I'm nothing more
than a typical black male now
nothing going for me
my life would've been shit without you
and I'll probably live alone
for the rest of my life -- Or
when I decide to kill myself at
the age of fifty, right?
that's why I sit in this chair, with
a stare that burns thru the wall
wishing for you to disappear
while you continue to make this
transition, all the more worse
and here we are...

Brutha "hurt....hurts" and unfortunately "misery does love company"... I have yet to see a real live Cinderella or Prince Charming...real ppl aren't perfect...but real ppl can improve, elevate, and accomplish...we're an entity by ourselves, so while others may make an impact on our hearts and breaths...it beats and breath all by ourself...and CAN...MUST continue regardless of anyone else..definitely feeling this at the core of that vital organ...U are whom you are because you invested to be, not...
