Three Months Later

Dynasty P.O.V

Silly me
Always giving my all to you
Broke me down to build for you
Every time
And if love wants to call
Oh, I know I can't depend on you
For no, nothing at all
You let me down every time

Oh, I hope you're happy without me
But the truth is I'm tired of falling for you
I'd give my heart to beat for you

I just wanted you to save me
But you never did, all you did was
Play me
I just wanted you to save me
But you never saved me
'Cause you tried to take my heart with you
Wanted to break me
I just wanted you to save me

I sang along to the bitter-sweet sound of
K Michelle's 'Save Me' as I prepared for my day.

I glanced in the mirror, wiping away tears that I didn't even know I cried.

After almost five months of fighting with Ronnie to keep what was already mine, the war was finally over. Somehow Patricia handled it, and I never had to lift a finger. Honestly, If it meant me being free, I woulda gave em everything he asked for.

I know it sounds crazy, but I'm just tired.

After taking the time to analyze it all, I decided to divorce Ronnie. Once Patricia cleaned up the mess he made I figured there was no more chances left to take.

I shoulda saw it coming a long time ago. Shoulda trusted Yungin' and never married em. This time around, I lost pieces of me that I don't think I can mend.

August P.O.V

Sometimes I sit and wonder if I'm even half the man that I proclaim to be. I mean, everyday I watch the love of my life fight a war with another man.

Despite adoration, this just happens to be the one battle I chose not to fight for her. No doubt, everybody knows our history. I never had a problem putting an end to a nigga about Drizzy. And that ain't gone change, but I can't make her see that.

"Haven't seen my calls?" Dr. Edwards, the intern on my case asks, while running lab work.

I sigh.

"Yeah. I just, got a lot on mah plate J."  I admit.

She shrugs.

"I can respect that. But it would be nice to know what's going on with you." She nags.

I shrug.

"Ain't nothin' new ta know." I say in nonchalance.

She rolls her eyes.

"So you're just ignoring me?"

"Nah. Not really. I mean, things ain't as easy as I make em look." I shrug. "I was livin' the dream. Until I wasn't. And by the time I could even recognize that mah heart was pumpin' again, I had already lost the only thing that it was beating for. Now I'm trynna raise a seven year old billionaire and keep mah head above the water." I rambled. "On the verge of risking it all ta get mah wife back." I mumbled that last part.
