“YOU SAID”

By:  Marsha Pratt (2022)
You said you wanted an intelligent, classy lady,

Hell, I fit that bill.

But you dropped and discarded me for a project chick,

What the hell is the deal?

Intellectually, you were never on my level,

But athletically, you were all in.

You learned plays in your head and ran routes well on the field,

The flock of women made your ego swell.

But it was always the other head that kept you from reaching your full potential.

As you age, taking Viagra and Cialis for a season can help you continue to be good in bed, but after a while, that shit can cause a heart attack, and then you’re Dead.

I can blame you because the love I had for you made me settle for less.

Now I am forever discarding you,

And wishing you the best.
