Unfortunately



This man who a lot of people knew
believe me his candor told the real truth.

He loved trees, with no branches or leaves ,
gets down on his knees, sucks it into his tunnel with ease.

Ooh! Why he do that?
Attempted to walk over me like a mat.

He, me , thought there could be a we…
But he preferred he over me. How could this be?

It’s a strange, awkward feeling when reality sets in
You’ll never again be my lover, but maybe you can be my friend.

I was his shield, allowing him to do his will
While I searched my heart to see how I really feel.

Lord, Jesus guide my way!
Loved the way he ate my groceries everyday.

Yes I’m gon miss that feel
From that freaky man they call Will.

So I’ve decided to let it go. The lies and deception
MAN , You Know What You Know!

Lights, Cameras, Action, has all come to an end,
You’ll never again be my lover, but I’ll consider being your friend.
