i think about all of the things
we've been through.
i think about,
how i took your two kids
into my heart like
they were my own,
and loved them.
then i think of that child
who's younger than mine
but saying she's yours,
and again i think,
how could you?
i think about
how i have been
patient and understanding,
when i should've been
cussing your ass out.
i think i've done so much
sighing and crying,
that i'm starting
dry my tears out,
and wear your ears out.
because you're not
listening to me,
you're just hearing,
noise
YOU'RE supposed to love me?
how did you think that
my heart would survive this?
or even want to weather the
storm that constantly starting
cloud my forecast.
i think that my boys should
look up to you,
but grow up to be better men.
i just be thinking,
about how it could've been
but can't,
about what should've been
but wasn't,
about what was almost
but isn't.
and it makes me think back
to when i could've seen it,
but IT wasn't really there.
like a mirage,
wavering in the sun.
love.
i think.
