It used ta be that when i asked u, u promised u would call//
U also said i was your everything, and to me u'd give your all//
Well that was then and this iz now and baby its all changed//
I started thinking, no longer dreaming and got my attitude rearranged//

It used ta be i'd say things like "i'll be you Superwoman if u just gimme a Lil Mo//
If you commit yourself to me, my love will erupt like an endless volcano"//
Well that was then and this iz now and im not afraid to hurt you//
I deserve to be treated better after all you've put me thru//


But that's not the end, ladies and gentlemen, of this story i do tell//
For that was the "Then" and this iz tha "Now" which actually turns out quite well//


After our big fight, late that night i thought i actually got thru to u//
I thought "Well if i yell summore, you'll think 'Oh god, what have i done, what did i do?//
And maybe he'll figure it out, without a doubt, that his love he did not show//
And from now on, he'll be more conscience of what then, he did not know//

And despite his fake lies, i've come to realize, his priorities he did arrange//
And for me, his love, his best friend, he decided he would change//
Even tho he was scared, not wanted a broken heart to be repaired, his love he did not withdrawal//
For he knew my love for him and his for mine was true and together, in love, we would fall//


yo-if u noticed, the second half of my poem i went backwards wit da rhyming sound at tha end from "oo" to "oh" to "-ange" to "all" its like a reflection of da first part b/c it starts out wit "all" and ends wit "oo"--i did dat b/c it reflects my situation in dis poem--theres more but i'll just leave u wit dat.
