"The Art of Mathematics"

A Poem by leenanicole


They say that 1 is the loneliest number 
And some people find that hard to believe 
But when you are lied to and decieved 
You learn to concieve 
That you only end up with you 
Cause no one every taught you 
The value of your body and mind 
So you ceased to define 
The value of yourself 
Let alone the value of a man 
So you go out and find 
What you think is true 
And you do all you can do 
And when you are through 
1 +1 quickley becomes 2 
He's decent, loving, everything 
Wanted in a man 
That you learn to understand 
Until he lays his hands 
Not on you.......... 
But on the body of another woman 
Little did you know 
He's taking it nice and slow 
Passion marks to show 
On that brown suga you call 
That other woman 
Friends tell you to leave 
But you just can't believe 
Until you put the pieces together to see 
That it was not longer 2 but 3 
Then 3 quickly became 4 
As he walked through the door 
To see you lay and sway 
To the words of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" 
With the body of another man beside you 
He feels deceit and is ready to beat 
On that specem known as the element 
Of your secret lover 
And so you continue to do your foul play 
At your own risk 
Thinking nothing serious 
Though within a 9 month period 
Came your illigetament baby boy 
The 5 quickly became 2 
As your man left you 
Tired of the 3rd degree 
But you never noticed it was 6 you see 
Cause the man that was YOUR secret lover 
Was loving yet another 
So see how in your state of mind 
1 can easily become 6 
And in the mist of all this 
You were the lonliest chick 
Cause see, even with a son 
You see how easily 6, 5, 4, 3, 2....... 
Can easily fall back to 1
