A Real Man

This is about my ex,he just wasn't man enough for me.

You know our story,you know the way.
You always tell me what to do & what to say.
You know it's true.

 
I've change a lot since then.
But I gave you my heart & it wasn't enough.
You know it's true.

You think you can play these games with my head
But I've got a lot of things that i haven't said yet.
I'm gonna give it to ya.

You say these hurtful things to me
When your the one that lied
about how u wanted it to be.

 
Now come on

Now did you really mean that?
No you did not,
You didn't wanna say it.

You can lie to me,
Throw it in my face
But you're only mad because u never made it to 3rd base,
Baseball,baseball,the game you like to play
But u left me standing there with nothing left to say.
 

Baby please understand,
All I want is a real man.

Stop calling my phone,
Saying you don't care.
If you moved on,
You wouldn't want to be there.
You know it's true.

Stop spreading rumors about me.
After everything is done,
You know we could never be.
You know it's true.

Everyone thinks you're perfect,
but baby you're not worth it.
Just walk away just like I did,
Stop acting like a little kid.

This has fallen apart
There's nothing left to keep.
You're lies got to high for you,
You were in waist deep.

 
Baby please just understand,
All i want is a real man,
& you're not him.

I think that this might actually be one of your best. Its beautiful, and brutal. Not to mention powerful. Wait, that expression doesn't make sense: "not to mention..." doesn't that negate itself as soon as I say what I'm not mentioning? Anyhoo, you wrote a great poem. You might tidy the grammar here or there, but who gives a crap [says the English obsessed post grad wannabie].

I like the way you could take a stand against someone who was trying to take advantage of you. We all need to take a stand to protector ourselves and others at times. It is a good message. Thank you.
