A shit like you

Am so very mad, for so many months i couldnt see
How i had stuck myself to a real shit of a man
I loved him, i really did, and hoped for a future
He never valued my time, i spent it waiting for him
He didn’t value my touch, i often slept on my own
He didn’t value my earnings, i often felt strained
He didn’t value being with me, never prioritised me
He did not know how to love and take care of me
I think he didnt even know how to love himself
He was all about his work, books and investments
I hope they cook for him and keep him warm at night
He could not spare me 10 minutes a day to chat
I was so damn lonely and mad, but loved him still
For every once in a while, he would hug me tight
and in that hug, all my sorrows would dissipate
in that hug, all i felt was love no anger, just bliss
with time he also forgot how to do that eventually.
I left, albeit half heartedly and began my life alone
Discovering soon many more shits like that existed
Only this time, i was cautious and did my weeding
This time, i was flattened, like a balloon popped
the thrill of love long gone, its desire very faint
this time, i swore that i would pick much wisely
A man with character, a man with principles
A man who knows his place in the relationship
A lead, thats what a man is, a pillar of strength
A man who will be a good father to our children
Taking the time to teach, play and nurture them
He will love me easily, freely and generously
This time, i better not wind up with a shit like you
