SHALLOW UPON THE HEART

Used to women taking care of him

Cries to get what he wants

Emotional blackmail by reason of greedy

He is shallow upon the heart



Says sweet things like baby, honey, sweetheart

Wants me to call him boo

While he calls me babygirl.

I’ll say it he’s a nigger

Because anyone of any ethnicity can be one

Shallow upon the heart.



I did it right

Did the boyfriend that I’d known for over a decade.

Reconnected to complete love extreme

Got engaged and married only to find out within a month he

Never stopped seeing other ones.

Shallow upon the heart.



Talk about game people play.

It wasn’t a game.

It was the ultimate terrorist attack. Taking someone’s memories, flashbacks, emotions and using it against them but saying you’re comforting them.

Shallow upon the heart.



There may be an ending that is only the beginning to rescue me from this boy like man so that I no longer have to put up with.

Shallow upon the heart.
