We Should�ve Been Separated

By: Anganiesha Gilliam

We've been together for 2½ years
In those 2½, we've been through it all
You would’ve thought we would’ve separated a while ago
And also that we wouldn’t call

Now that we are no longer together
I think about how we used to be
I can’t get the thought out of my head
You know, when you put your hands on me

After all you did I blamed myself
For you putting your hands on me
I accepted your apology along with your sympathy
But I realized we weren’t meant to be

I canceled plans for you; you put me on hold
And told me you had things to do
I would wait in my house until you had called
Asking me to spend some time with you

Things are not what they seem; it’s hard for me to believe
Us together at first was like a dream
You turned your back on me trying to make me believe
That you never treated me so mean
