She Doesn'T Know Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

You said to me, you wanted more
You didn't even see
these tear stained eyes.
You said you wanted more
we just made love

You said, I need a woman
to love me more, give me more
Respect me, hold it down.
Respect you, I said?
You want more
all that, rolled off your tongue
one sentence.

Was I missing something!
you living in my Apartment
sleeping on the furniture I brought
Eating the food I put in my refrigerator
Driving one my cars.
What type of 'Respect' can I give you
when I called all this ours.


You all giggly in that face of yours
happy with all your words
What you don't know
I saw her
yes, I did
kissing you hungrily
with her long wavy weave
arms around your neck
manicured fingernails
passionate kisses
we once shared

You say, you want more
and you cheating!
Move in with her
Let her be your momma
take care of you


She doesn't know tired
She doesn't know you will tell her
Lies, like you told me.
Smooth Talker, you
Gone with the, Night Nurse and Mommie Role
you'll never see my tears
Does she even have a car you can drive?
