Time For You

By: B. LaShawn Simms

You say you want time to yourself.
Or do you really mean time from me?

Or is that just an excuse to butter up the pain for me?
You can cover up the surface with three layers, at least.

It's easy for you,
But have you experienced everlasting grief?

But-
You still need time to yourself.
But you really mean time from me.

I see it in your Eyes, your Face and Body,
The way you kissed me, you Do Love Me.

Tell me the reason, why you've moved your favor from me.

Time to yourself;
But I KNOW, you want time from me.
You've given me a ring that symbolizes forever;
A memory that will last in me,
and apart we will be forever!

You do Love Me, You Do Need Me, and You will always Want me, I can see that now.

You had your time, but you want time to yourself.
But now I realize
I NEED TIME FOR MYSELF.
