ALEXIS

Alexis broke my heart,

She didn\'t mean to,

It wasn\'t her fault.

 

She didn\'t ask me to

Fall madly in love.

She wouldn\'t have known

It was destined to be fleeting.

 

She couldn\'t control

How she melted in my arms

With pure radiance on her face

That made the angels jealous.

 

Neither of us knew

Our hearts would entangle,

Binding us together

So quickly and completely.

 

I hid from her my parting tears.

God knows she has enough to deal with;

Facing foster care...with luck, an adoption.

Life is tough for an abandoned crack baby.
