Tricks of the Trade

Why is it I’m the only person you can turn to when you have no one else? You thought that I could pick up the pieces left by your ex- girl. I’m not a side girl mister Two ropes were just about to overlap But then another rope came along tied the knot instead. After that knot wore off, that rope came looking for the one it lost In other words, don’t come back for me It hurts when you only think of me when you need something You try to catch me in a corner and plant one on my mouth And then try to persuade me to see your throbbing sensation No Baby Boy I’m not stupid Once you had dropped my rope I was not looking for yours Then you want to make me your little secret My mom used to say that when a boy says this, you should walk away When he says this, he is being so disrespectful Well Mom He did, but I’m not walking away To walk away would not mend the pieces that had just broken inside me I have something to say Noel Jones said that God said to stay In the situation he puts you in He said that God wants to use me My purpose in life is to do God’s will So I have to witness He said that God did not put us here for a relationship with another human being So I cannot be with you My purpose is not be with you I’m slowly starting to believe all these words now Now I understand how the enemy works Right after I receive God, the enemy tries to put me back in my place But that is not my place in life. My place is in God’s will No more am I going to take your mess You look like a shriveled piece of paper in my face Now it’s time for me to throw you away Move the trash can to the side And pick up an apple from one of God’s trees Something that is actually going to nourish me You can stay here and look surprised But I I am going home now Don’t try to reel me back into my past while I am trying to step into my future At the present time God’s calling me And I am going to listen to what HE has to say At the present time I am in a relationship God is wrapping HIS arm around me when I walk We talk about anything and everything He doesn’t have to worry about me being with someone else I am glad Yes I am proud to be with him When you look at me, you know who gave me the sparkle in my eyes When I am walking and ignoring you, you already know that HE is the only man that is on my mind. At the present time, this knot has been tied And I am not searching for another one.
