We Got Us (part 5 in a SaYes2Poetry series)

Why do u pretend to take me seriously
When in reality u think I'm inferior
See sometimes I act all delirious
When I'm around u
But that doesn't mean I'm the lesser, none the wiser;
Just cause I'm the smoke doesn't mean I won't take u higher,
And where there's smoke, there's fire
And I could be that spark
So why do u leave me alone in the dark?
Cause in reality u think I'm uptight
Well, sometimes ur shit's not right
And I have to bring it to light
I know u think I'm a nag, or annoying
Well, sometimes ur just boring
But I stay.

And why do I stay?
Day after day after day?
Cause we got us.
And I'm always right, and you may be wrong,
But though the road is bumpy and long
And sometimes we don't want to hang on
We'll keep chugging along
Like a train refusing to jump the track
I'll hold onto you like a heart attack.
Your love is like the plaque clogging my arteries
Without warning, you're slowly killing me
But if I diet and exercise, I can live with you.
No, live for you, live in you
Like you in me, maybe.
So whether we yell, fight or cuss,
I try not to make much of a fuss
Cuz I know we got us.
