Let U Go Poem by Aaliyah SantiagoJoseph

My momma told me
I gotta get you out of my system
Probably the best wisdom she ever gave me
Gotta let you go
But the pain runs deep
Thought I was wide awake
But I was fast asleep
For 18 months I gave you what you needed
Should’ve listened to my mama
Should’ve heeded
Can’t believe it
You the one I gave my all
Told me we would never fall
Now you never call
I know it’s wrong
But sometimes I like to wish you dead
Cuz I don’t want no one to have you at all
Crazy
But I know you never gave a damn about me
How could you have lied so freely?
How could you hate me so much?
Claim you don’t
Then how come you can’t just pick up the phone
Just check on me
You just too busy doing ya thing
Sent letters to my peoples telling them it’s over
I thought I told ya
Don’t ever try to play me boo
Cuz you’ll come out looking the fool
The only reason I hollered at you is because of my Bro
He was so convinced you was thorough
Now he know better though
All I do is think of you and us
Although I know there’s no more us
Feel like ‘ringing the alarm’
Ain’t trying to fuss
Just gotta move on and
Dust my shoulders off
Get you out my skin
I told you
I gotta get you ‘Outta My System’
Like my homie Bow Wow
Damn I thought I would’ve had your child
Your complexion, my smile
But since I know we can’t be
Since my eyes are open and I can see
I’m letting you GO!
Yeah-Now I’m FINALLY FREE!
Peace!
