I loved you more.
I gave foolishly.
You left us to our own devices.
This is not my state, it\'s your fate.
I learned I was fine when time came around and shook me.
I had this precious gift.
She filled my days and nights.
I still wanted you.
She made me laugh and sigh.
She wanted to know where her daddy was;
I said you were working.
She n\' I rode bikes n\' scooters n\' walked our dog together.
She n\' I covered the driveway with funky, psychedelic flowers & hop scotch & butterflies
Using big colored chalk. We even swam in our pool.
I still wanted you.
I raked leaves in to big piles - she n\' I ran full steam ahead- jumped in n\' laughed till we cried.
I took her to so many Disney movies and play dates too.
She loved to play with pill bugs n\' gave em names n\' homes in shoe boxes-
Made of grass n\' leaves n\' tiny stones.
I helped her with her homework and drove carpool.
She was my solace, you know.
On all those empty nights- she still asked where her daddy was;
I lied and said working.
My baby and I had a beautiful life.
I can\'t change point or place.
I feel haggard.
I\'m so tired.
I don\'t want you.
She comes to mind.
I\'m no fool.
You have such audacity.
You want me?
I don\'t love you anymore.
Not like that.
I\'m not sure what happened.
I\'m left in outfield -wandering there
Hanging on to my bottle of wine.
Guess I\'ll be fine...
Till I wake again n\' realize
I don\'t want you.
She\'s not here.
And neither were you...
