My Man

I had a man once
I say, had a man
But in truth,

He was never really mine

He tried to tell me several times,

But … he was just mine …

You know?


I loved a man once

And how I loved him so

I loved him soo much,

I sacrificed my friend

I knew he wanted her

So a blind-eye I turned


Well … after that,

We never could look each other in the eye,

My friend and I

Guilt became our new bedfellow

Hers, for ignoring that niggling voice

That voice which spoke of past tenderness

Betwixt him and I

Mine, for not protecting her

Protecting her from her impending folly.


I had a man once

Mine for a brief moment

I had to let him go

Cos he was never truly mine

I understand that now.
