sometimes I sit and get so awfully sad
for things that have happened that are so bad
I shed tired tears alone in the virtual dark
just like a helpless dog who can only bark
this releases the sadness and all the pent up pain
after the tears wash clean the original hurt
I have no more real reason to complain
you see I love so much
my tender heart aches so
I can't help but constantly wonder
does he know
he's so aloof and acts so startlingly strange
now since we've made our magical love
he treats me like I have the mange
can this be
can it truly be so
that this man has loved me
only to then let me go
he's the child's father
I wonder if its true to say
its made of love
will he love it
will he treat the child well
I know he could if he only would..............
