Not A Pair

I wanted us to be a we When her and I were introduced to company, But, that's not what she wanted people to see So, it was only me. It was only me when her and I went out to eat And it was me when a friend I did meet, It was only me sitting in the movies seat And it was only me posting a tweet. She didn't want to be known as an us When I tried she would deny it and then would cuss, About that situation I wasn't allowed to discuss So, I was tossed under the bus. It was never us wherever that we went It was never us when time together we did spent, And when I was hurt and I needed to vent It wasn't us as she went absent. It was me whenever she needed money And it was me when she needed help and called me honey, It was me who tried to always make her days sunny And it was me being laughed at and called funny. She said us being a couple should not ever be known And if anyone asks I should say that I am alone, And our situation should not be seen or shown Into a pool of lies I was grabbed and thrown. I wanted us to be a pair And I wanted us to go proudly together everywhere, I was happy when people did look and stare And I wanted us both to love and care. I wanted us to be always two Wherever that we went and whatever that we did do, But, now I've opened my eyes and I bid her adieu Now it's just me, and no more us or you. Randy L. McClave
