Men, we do this to ourselves
Ice does melt in the presence of heat
A good lady does slip away from a careless man
The blame is on you when the good she walks out the door
Call it our ego, our uncouthness
Call it ill-placed wisdom or lack thereof
But a good lady should be loved
Or else you stand to lose
Man, you will lose a good lady
When you stop listening anymore
When she begins to notice
You don’t value her time like before
You will lose a good lady
When you treat her like a child
Shouting down at her, ordering her around
When you proving a point means she physically hurts
You will lose a good lady
When you abuse her trust
When she loses faith in you
And your words no longer credible
You will lose a good lady
If you treat her with double standards
Expect her to be open with you and tell you all
But you punctuate your life with secret codes and no-go zones
You will lose a good lady
When your insecurity leads to baseless suspicions
Keeping a surveillance on her like a criminal
Inspecting and interrogating her becomes your obsessed mission
You will lose a good lady
When she feels you can be left out, done away with
When she will rather confide in another or keep quiet
Cause talking to you stopped being enjoyable but causes headaches
You will lose a good lady
When you stop making her happy
When you make her laugh no more because you are so cold
You’ll look into her eyes one day and realize she left a long time ago
Don’t crucify her. The problem is you
Man, if you look back well
You will notice how many times she tried
To steer the love back on course
But she is a good lady deserving of the best
Choosing a man is like choosing a climate
She will keep off you when you begin to drain and demean her
And plant herself in a climate that brings out and treasures her best
