Matrimony (Poem)

Matrimony (Poem by Lashuntrice) 

My sincerest apologies, I mean it

I'll admit it, the thought of love makes me pathetic

I'm 30 still never been a bride at a wedding

Guess the idea of never saying “I Do” doesn’t sit with me well

It’s not your fault love escapes me, still I chase it

Cause I'm selfish and I need you to myself

Tryna see you be free, but don’t wanna see you happy without me

And when I fail over and over again all I can do is cry

And you don’t seem to care

Cause when I enter your city, you leave with pride

I'm sorry, and I'm staring at your comments

Fearin' it's gone always be me sharin' you with all them

Wrong, how dare I say ignore them?

But I’m selfish so I’ll always say fuck them

It's easy, you know to fight temptation

Out here, you know my feelings are strong

Never run away from your heart

Giving you my all, even my writing is all about you 

I'm right

And I'm promisin' you better than those hoes

Although friends sayin' let him go

It’s you I want

I can’t give up now. I can promise you forever 

And if forever ends, there’s another forever that we can still be together
