Your man is my best friend
Keep in mind,
I already got a man
But jealousy
Runs potent in your stream
Dying it red,
Killing all life,
Crucifying the possibility
Of our future collectively
See, as it stands,
Our future children
Have no chance
To play together
Because mom would be fine
If my name is not mentioned,
Ever,

But let me ask you,
"Why do you hate me?"
Maybe you see something in me
That you have the potential to be
But, you don't lack
I've seen your creativity
And you posses beauty

So perhaps what you think you don't like in me,
Is a mere reflection of your insecurity
And that my dear
Starts from within
Stop throwin' those darts at others
It's time to repent
And I forgive you
Even if you refuse to be my friend
Because envy is a sickness
An evil spirit you can slay
With God's hands,
We can start a new day

Let those brimstones go,
And inject cool confidence
And let's not block these blessings
For our future children
And ourselves
Do not make the devil smile
With your selfishness
Sista, I wish you well

Marinate on these words
And dish out a new flavor
Cuz your attitude
Is nothing to savor
That's what makes you unattractive
To my best friend
Let me let you in on a little secret
The energy you spend hating on me
Could be lovin' energy to your man
God Bless

I'm reluctant to let you read this
Would probably cause too much confusion
Blinded by your own poison
Creating a map to relationship ruins
One by one, pieces fall
From your castle
Crashing to the shores
Cuz your weakness makes it fragile

If I was your enemy,
It would be in your best interest to stay close
Because you're leaving your relationship wide open
For your man to be given a dose
Of that honey dipped passion fruit
That's so tantalizing and temptin'
I'm not interested in your man
But the next woman
May take a ride on what you thought was your position
I'm not wishing negativity on your relationship
I'm just presenting the facts
What you put out into the universe
Will come back...

Honesty.... is so hard at times to deal with.  But you did an excellent job here.

I found some real enlightenment here.Things I wish we could all see as individuals and citizens of the world.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

if most people would stop being so focused on what they think they don't have and think others are taking, and focus on what they DO have, they would be MUCH better off!

excellently written...and hope it relays your message to the intended just as well!
