For Years Now Poem by Dylon Cain

She's been in my life for many years now
On and off, wondering how?
How can she say she loves me while engaged to another?
Someone she once claimed was, 'Only a brother.'
I seen the signs and tried to have it stop.
I seen it all, but from her life, she wouldn't drop
This guy when she claimed all she needed was me.
How I'm not enough, I just can't see...

I've been the guy on the side for so long now.
For days I've been wondering, 'Is it time to take a bow? '.
Close the curtains of this long, painful, act.
Or continue, suffering, through this pact?
I've tried many times to be her only one.
Yet all I seem good for is just fun.
I've even took a trip across the states.
From far South to North just for a date;
Only for her to say she can't.
Making me feel as small as an ant.
