How Does The Saying Go Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

The day I brought you those shoes
that's when i went wrong.
'should have listened to the old wives sayings'.
Old wisdom never dies.
I wanted you too much.
catered to your beck and call.
'Never want a man more than he wants you '
I should of listened
you're cheating now,
you don't come over like you used to.
'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk free'
I probably was giving it to you more than you needed it.
I should have seen all the signs, I was blind
You, started leaving earlier when you came by
I didn't want to share you, I gave you more of me
anything to keep you around longer
it was better than losing you.
'no sloppy seconds'
I was the second, runnning the race
I tried to out run whoever she was.
'Never wait by the phone'
always right there whenever you'd call, and there even
when you didn't call.
A sickness, A disease
Could I like you more than I like myself? .
Eventually, in time i thought you would be mine
I'd wait,
all the hard work I put into the relationship
the dedication
I can't wait any longer
one last time
Do you want me, or not?
I guess i better start listening.
