Black Poetry : Get it together or else I'm gone.....

[nevar]

Listen brother
I said listen brother
Now, now wait a darn minute
I said, "Let me speak"

Now I aint too proud to beg now
But see Mister I ain't no fool either
Now I have been patient as long as this lady can be
But see now I got to lay the law down
RIGHT NOW
Not tomorrow, not another second, but RIGHT NOW
Now I have been good to you and you have been good to me
But there is some issues at hand
You see I got my ways and you got yours
But yours seem to just leave me wounded
I'm tired baby of feeling I'm loving the wrong man
You want me to be your wife
Be your all
And I know I haven't been the best
But I have given you me unconditionally
I put up with your lies
I put up with your unconsistency
I put up with your so called friends
I put up
I put
UP
But it comes a time when I can't let this sleeping dog lie
I want to change from being Ms. Nagger
To having a mean Swagger
But our Swagger is all wrong
All wrong
And see baby getting me all wet and things
Huh it's all good baby
But your love just and won't pay my bills
Yeah you have me walking bow- legged
Yeah you have knock my tracts off its welts
But baby, I think you didn't hear me
YOUR LOVE WON'T PAY MY BILLS
I'm not about money but in this world it takes that to survive
The vows say for Richer or Poorer
It's been poorer ever since
If I am the one make a effort, make a change
I will too, I love you
Love you like my beating heart
But if I have to go on
Then I must go on without you
You leave me with no choice, but to give you this ultimatum
GET IT TOGETHER OR ELSE I'M GONE.................

Well sometimes it's like that, when you've given all you have within you, and it's just too much to bear. Hopefully he can step up. Well expressed poetess.

Wow sistah I can tell you love him.
