Fighting For You While You’re Fighting For Her Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I believe in you so please don’t let me down
It hurts so much to think of you
Possibly not being around
It truly cuts deep
And though I’m losing my patience
Your love is what I’m really trying to keep
And it hurts so much that I can barely speak
I don’t know what to do anymore
We use to be high above the clouds
And now were a feet away from the floor
I don’t want to let go
And I don’t want to give up hope
But you’re not trying
Alone I’m fighting
And I feel like I’m going through this ALONE
INSTEAD of WITH you
When I’m only in this because of the stuff people are saying
YOU do
I’m fighting for us
And instead of fighting with me
You’re fighting to protect you and her
The only thing missing is a label
And because you’re with me
You two just aren’t able
Well I’m leaving everything on the table
And I’m open
Though I’m through hoping
That I’ll be the one chosen
I’m trying but your not
And I’m tired of being in the same spot
I want the lies, the games….
I just want EVERYTHING to stop
