Once you were like diamonds and pearls to me,
Until I finally came face to face with reality,
And went my separate way.
Actually, you were the pacesetter for that
So I was forced to do the same.
I was like the Rose of Sharon then
Just like I am now
But you realized the good you missed out on a little too late
I just hope however, that you may live and learn
And know a good thing when you see it
But I guess that is where one separates the men from the boys.


So please don’t stand there and beg!
Your pathetic plead becomes a nuisance to my ears
I rest my case; therefore, it is only natural that you get out my face
I knew this day was coming
But I left you and like the many others to time
The laugh is now on you like it was on me then
But I won’t laugh; I’m too big for that
It’s best I say….. Excuse me and I wish you all the best.
