hope
his back began to face her
it didn't take much before she started to cry
not all men have something to prove
as he felt a tear or two drop beneath his eyes
they both knew it was past the point of no return
as in their hearts and in their minds
it was time to let go of the rope with their last goodbyes
he couldn't believe it
neither could she
all they had worked for
had stabbed them in their sleep
i say he and she because they were no longer we,
no longer one
he wasn't ready to let to go
not with all the love
he was forced as the moon overrode the sun
the sight of her in bed with another was equivalent to a loaded gun
with the first shot aimed dead center in the chest
couldn't grasp a breath in time
to comprehend what love was left
over as soon as it started,
all 6 years together parted by not even a 6 minute fling
they had a daughter, she was 3
her name was hope
already knew how to sing
and if she could get the words out right
the first thing she would preach would be
"mommy that aint daddy
who is that man?
mommy where is daddy?
who is that man?
mommy i miss daddy
who is that man?
you aint my daddy
you're a strange man."
and after that day
which was now a year
give or take a couple months
he roamed the earth all to learn
you get what you give,
and in return he had his guilty conscience
see, a week before he had learned what his eyes had told him when he walked into that room
daddy wasn't being so true himself
as the same act in the same bed had occured a week before
actually the times were a few.
she was out around noon,
to the bank and some errands
both constantly questioning if their love was true
he invited the neighbor over
she had no clue
"daddy that aint mommy
who is that girl?
daddy where is mommy?
who is that girl?
daddy i miss mommy
who is that girl?
you aint my mommy
you're a strange girl."
now he had gone a year without a second of his daughter
no laughs shared,
no fatherly honor
two weeks today she had taken her first steps
and how badly he wished he saw her
a lack of honesty between the two,
add a pinch of stubborn,
and yes to this day she still has no clue about his turn in the room
lies led hope's life to be destined without a father figure
and no, neither of them even tried
"mommy, mommy, mommy
daddy, daddy, daddy
is sadness free?
notice the middle finger, fuck you both
you have no clue what's been done to me."
