Side Chick (Poem)

Someone on twitter recently said that we women can get into relationships with men if we really want them. We just have to deal with the fact that we might not be the only woman. I think I've been side-chicked before, so I wrote this poem called Side Chick. I was also listening to Wale/Rihanna's version of Bad and Tiara Thomas updated version so there's more inspiration. Read below. 

Is it bad that I’ve never made love

I’ve never felt it

But I’m here with you

You’re talking real explicit

Saying “Drop the good girl act

You don’t want to be a girl friend

Just play the side chick

Tonight’s the night

No more innocence

Step out the sneakers

And leave the pants at home

Step into a short dress

Make sure it’s easy to slip off”

Is it bad that you’re tempting

Your soft brown skin

And that cologne you wear

It makes me want to get closer

And especially when you haven’t shaved

The stubble on your chin

I just want to feel it

And is it bad that the words you say

That you’ve never been with a girl like me before

And you really don’t want to

But you just can’t leave me alone

Although you’re not a chaser

And there’s another girl by your side

She’s a ride or die chick

While I’m a every once in a while chick

I can’t figure out how to ignore you

Is it bad that I question if love even exists because you make me give up all faith in love and relationships, give up the good girl lifestyle, no more wishing for monogamous commitment, just take whatever I can get, even if that means settling for being the side chick? 

(Side Chick is dedicated to the loss of my monogamous innocence. )
