I Got The Last Laugh

He said "Let me just put in the tip" & I thought why not, he's never dipped off and slept with another. Besides, I really loved this brother. He was my man, and I loved him like no other. That's why I acted a tid bit confused when I got the news and was diagnosed with that House In Virginia. When I spoke to my guy he began to cry & confess, disclosing all of his indiscretions. I pretended to be upset & filled with regret when asking him "How could he do this to me?" But see it wasn't he, it was me living the lie. I've known for months now that I was going to die. -L' Mo

Lost Love

I've been in love with him since I was a child. But as we got older, he got wild. A little bit of fame & he was lost in the game. The rule has always been never get high off your own supply, but with him, that rule did not apply. It started off as a once in a while thing. But after awhile he began to cling. He needed a hit every single day! And as they say, where there is a will, there is a way. That's why on this day, me & our kids tell him goodbye. As he lay in his casket looking dapper & fly. We never thought that this was how his life was going to end. But as we know, drugs have no friends. -L' Mo

Ungrateful

They once chanted "I'm Black & I'm Proud", now they just appear to be ignorant & loud. It's not hard to miss them in a crowd. Walking around like they have a chip on their shoulder. And it gets worse as they get older, because their ignorance gets bolder. Acting like they need to prove a point, while them & their friends continue to smoke joints. I wish someone would take the chance & guide that fella with the sagging pants. Take the chance and guide that chic, because we know her mind is not fully equipped. Teach them that there is so much more that they can be. Teach them that they have to be better than you & me! This has to be a painful sight for our forefathers to see. -L' Mo

And The Plot Thickens

He knows I love him, that goes without saying. The only problem is this dude keeps playing. Keeps laying around letting all this time pass. I don't know how long he's going to lay around on his ass. We've been together for over 5 years. And I'm the only one NOT married amongst my peers. Seldomly this brings me to tears. Not to mention me dying alone is one of my fears. He's not the best that I had but he's all that I got. He continues to be a victim of my plots and I refuse to sit around and rot. I recall him mentioning kids would make him tie the knot. -L' Mo

Girl Friends

We've both been hurt, so it's hard for us to work. Her by females, me by males. Too much pain for this friendship to prevail. So we keep putting each other through hell. We bicker & argue over every little thing. Who ever thought girls could be so mean? Everything that's said is taken as a personal attack! Whether it's fact or fiction, false or true, it's a damn shame what us girls put each other through. No one to trust although we must because we can't make it alone. As I sit telling her everything, crying on the phone, knowing damn well tomorrow we won't get along. -L' Mo

Sabotage

I wish I could get out of my own way. Stop sabotaging each potential relationship that comes my way. They say you don't know what you have until it's gone. Well I want to agree with them but in my case they're wrong. How will I know who's coming my way if I never give them the opportunity to stay? Before it even starts, I've picked it apart. Making excuses why it can't work. Making it appear that he's the jerk because I've placed the blame on him. Knowing damn well it's me. Refusing to accept what we could possibly be....happy. -L' Mo
