Single Mother's Anthem

CATEGORY

life

Views: 177

I was in love with him...and now Im in love with what he's given me.
And words just cant express the love I have for life that lived in me,
I mean they're the epitome, of everything eminent,
but he refused to see their majesty and how it's so resplendent.
And I gave him a million excuses but he always has one more
And I wanted to give him everything, but now those feeling I deplore
this is the man that screamed he loved me, while he walked right through the door.
And when those babies screamed for daddy, I was the one to answer the call.
He was a coward neglecting life he made, this brother had the gall!
To look me in my eyes and swear, but then he disavowed
think you can judge me for those things I did, some of which Im not too proud.
But where were you when the water was nose high, perusing through the streets.
Cuz all those things I did, I only did them so your children could eat
And what about those nights I tucked them tight because we had no heat,
or all the days I had to slave to put shoes on their feet?
So yes Im bitter! but trust me its not because I used to love you
And Im not sweating all those lonely nights I used to think of you.
But how can I rid you from my mind when she got eyes just like yours,
and how can I explain that you left so you could be with those whores?
You left without looking back, and now Im picking up your slack,
told one lie after another, you just a dead beat brother,
the reason for this anthem; words from a single mother
