past due

there's boxes in the corner

of the home we used to occupy

last time i checked it was your turn to take out the trash

why can't you do anything i ask?

you would say it's because i nag too much

or i do things a certain way you don't like

well honey that's what a relationship is

you have to compromise

but it's past due, like my feelings for you

i tried and i tried and how much more could i?

you won't even look my way, say my name,

we've been locked in for over a decade

yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space

how many times do i have to make myself known?

it's really the simple things in life that you don't let go

cause if our roles were reversed, i would've walked out that door

but i wouldn't want to explore

any other woman that came my way

i’d be so excited to come back and see your face

but i'm the way i am right now and

you still drag me down

but it's past due, like my feelings for you

i tried and i tried and how much more could i?

you won't even look my way, say my name,

we've been locked in for over a decade

yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space

and how much more can i give?

when you constantly treat me like shit?

i don't know how to love someone who doesn't know how to love themselves

i'm done draining my mental health

i don't need to thank you for anything

cause you give me nothing

and if the day comes when you can finally learn to love me again

maybe you can come back to bed

but it's past due, like my feelings for you

i tried and i tried and how much more could i?

you won't even look my way, say my name,

we've been locked in for over a decade

yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space

(huff)
