Two good things I can say about you are this
You birthed my son into existence
And you didn't stop me from leaving when I said "this is it"
Our exodus brought me to the genesis of a new revelation
Shit, leaving you was biblical
And for me, critical
Because the condition I allowed you to put me in was pitiful
And I'm not pissed at you
Fact is I knew better
I knew what a 57-year relationship looked like from watching my grandparents
They showed me what dedication was
Time and again
I looked up wife in the dictionary and you were never there
So I stared
Trying to fit square pegs into round holes to make you feel whole
Because your soul
In my opinion
Was the most beautiful thing God ever created
Problem was, I hated your spirit

If I asked you
baby, would you try

So I hated your spirit
And the exercise of trying to lift yours became way too much on a daily basis
Then there were the not too subtle things
Case in point: I'm allergic to bullshit, ignorance and apathy
Yet everything you watch is on BET
And everything you say is me, me, me
And woe is me
And why you writing poetry
You too old to follow your dreams but, why you don't write about me?
And I'd reply, I reply 'cause you don't inspire me
I was looking for a southern belle
And your ass was country as tractor pulls and fried butter
But I couldn't stop lovin' you
And see that's what love'll do
make you see somebody for what they can be
Even when they can't see it in themselves
I looked so hard trying to find the woman you could be
That I lost myself
I tried so hard to give you heaven
In return all you did was give me hell
'Cause even when I tried to do what you wanted me to do
It was never enough
What the f*ck
Is so wrong with your life
That saying I love you to your lover doesn't bring a smile to your face?
What the f*ck is so wrong with your life
That saying I love you
To your lover
Doesn't bring a smile to your face?

Oh, if I asked you
Baby, would you try?
Oh if I asked you
Baby would you try?
If I held you
Baby, would you break
Just like a wave

You made love similar to getting root canals
And I never meant to get on your nerves
And I left it alone when the doctor got concerned with the size or your curves
See you made me sick
To my soul
Not because of our self-inflicted nonsense
But due to a sense of what we left unaccomplished
But these words we'll never speak
So go ahead and think what you'd like to think
Although everybody that knows me
Knows what I do for my son that I love so dearly
You would rather have us stay in courts
Portraying the characters you like to watch on television
See? Even now I'm doing what you want me to
Because somebody told you this would make you happy
And you listened
And nothing that I ever did or said to you
Will ever be brought to attention
Unless you find someway to bring negative attention to it
So we keep playing the blame game
And in case your brain is confused
I call our son Phoenix since he rose from the ashes of our relationship
And despite what you do to me out of spite
In spite of the fact that I still don't like that I love you
I promise never to disrespect or hate you
Bitch

If I asked you
Baby, would you try
Oh if I asked you
Baby, would you try
Oh if  I asked you
Baby, would you break
Or would you try
