Replace or Save Face?

Were you with her before we broke up?

Did you catch feelings because I wasn’t enough?

Does she know about the games you play?

Or all the drama that comes your way?

Maybe Baby Mama was a little bit right.

And maybe it took you stepping out to see the light.

Crazy how things turn out.

Were you ever in love with me?

Or did you use me as a good place holder for the time being?

Was there ever a time where you thought we would be?

You knew sixth months prior about my leave.

So, what is there to do.

But to write everything about you.

How you made me feel.

Maybe what she said was true.

I can’t believe I almost fell for you.

You wanted me to chose you over my career and life.

Not realizing I wasn’t a dependent nor your wife.

Nope, that was the role you seemed to like to play.

But you made me feel inadequate in your little games.

I thought I would have seen the signs.

But then again, at the time, I was just happy to call you mine.

When in reality you were already planning for someone new.

Did she know too?

And you got my best friend gifts but not me.

That should have been an easy Red Flag Number 103.

Glad I don’t get to be second to your mom or sister.

How will you react when I find another mister?

But that is years down the road for I am not you.

I won’t just wait a month or two.

How’s my replacement?

Remember she is not the same.

But maybe it is but a moth to a flame.

Good luck I really do wish you well.

Because all I care about now anyone can tell.

The little girl who looks up to you and calls you hers.

Whatever you do don’t let her get burned.

You are an adult not the child.

So why is she getting involved when things are anything but mild.

As for me she will never not be on my mind.

The three years I gave to raising her will not be left behind.

I will simply cheer and watch from afar.

For she was the one in the relationship who truly had my heart.
