I am merely the womb that
carried birthed and mothered
your seed
I am not your lover
your friend
nor your confidant

we don't talk like girlfriends do
like homeboys do
like
bestfriends do
you don't laugh at my corny jokes or
smile at the crinkling of my eye
you don't get excited when I enter a room or
even look at me when I speak
comfort or console me when I hurt or
reassure me when I'm uncertain
I do for you but
you don't for me
I am merely the womb that carried birthed and
mothered your seed
and that's all I'll ever be
so why won't you let me go
