An apology, long overdue To the Man I love and thought I knew Words indeed cannot express How things so pure can turn to mess I remember the night the "light" came on You were so late arriving home. I remembered your Gender - SO I said nice and sweet "Baby there's someone I think you should meet" "Her name is Andrea; she’s on our front couch- When ya'll finish chatting, grab your shit and move out!!!" See that's what I should have done - Got mean and got Mad Instead I fell to pieces and lost all that we had The house hurt, my pride did too, But what hurt most of all was I still wanted you Do you remember My Children that you left behind? Can you imagine their tears? Can you hear them crying? No, Not of your Blood, but Raised by You. I couldn't do that to ANY child that I knew. Seems I still have issues - where my kids are concerned But I'll let them pass - since I'm trying to learn You missed a lot by walking away You got a New Family - Is that here to stay??? Ten years have passed and I still Love on Guess when It's real - it's there til it's gone But I smile when I think of all that is now I'll grin and take credit - as I curtsy and bow Visit the Zoo, see the Great Apes. Listen for the Music that Denalli will make There's so much more that you'll never know You chose another - so reap what you sow.
