this poem is a response to the famous Jay-z song "song cry"

Chorus
You had to make this song cry
Cause you couldn’t see em coming down your eyes
Now it’s finally time for mine to dry

Verse 1
We used to know one another
No need for books, we used to read each other
Now we’re strangers, we can’t even stand each other
The dollars had you ahead of yourself
Where I was left, somewhere else
Rocking fancy names and diamond rings
Was not going to fix anything
Instead I forgave you so many times
Its bad enough you did it, but you lied
And YOU felt so sick inside?
My core turned when you did your dirt
Yet for you, I withstood all the hurt
You said I made you an improved man,
I don’t understand what happened
Thought you were better than the other man
Man, I wish I didn’t love you so much

Verse 2
Was there from the beginning dedicating all my time
I sacrificed when you aint have a dime
So what did you need them for?
We only needed us to sustain Bonnie and Clyde
I always held you down even when you felt
Lower then the ground
But you wasn’t there for me
Nights I would wait up constantly
You misunderstood; I was used to sleeping next to you
When you showed up months later
I never questioned you
Though it made it easier to leave,
Couldn’t walk away from all we had been through
Somehow what we had faded in the dust
While you simultaneously got pulled into the lust
With hoes who only knew your money
Ain’t it funny, I spent those years truly loving you
But I think this time, I’m really through

Verse 3
Never did I think I’d ever have to say goodbye
But you stood behind your stupid pride
While enduring sadness and pain, I put mine aside
After all these years, we have nothing to hold on
I thought my tears made me weak, but I’m strong
And I know you think how it ended was wrong
I didn’t throw away what we had
He just found a treasure YOU put in the trash
Sorry you had to find out like that
But karma can be a mean bytch when it’s attacked
And it wasn’t about getting you back
Just needed to once regain something I lacked
The respect you decided you no longer had for me
Time after time, it only affected me
That’s why I took my love away
Now I have to learn to love me today
I’ll always forgive you but we just can’t be together
Now you gotta live with the fact you made a mistake forever
