Tis the Reason

The tears in my eyes
a manifestation of all the years
feeling empty from a source of false love

A source that runs freely from a mouth that speaks
with a forked tongue and smiling to boot
while giving neither rhythm nor reason

Just the season to pretend all is fine and dandy
when we both know it is sour candy
but for reputations sake harmony and happiness play on our face

Smiles that conceal anger build on the fears of distrust
the love for two sons were in my life
before you my wife

I might be acting out of drama in this write
but I know that I am right
we find a common ground or I will not be around

My feet will find the path back to being a Dad
not this hollow shell so sad
“oh well maybe till next time”

All the while you stand and smile
with guile, you play an innocent
hard working Step-parent

They are not angels this is known well
but I know they are not demons from hell
so end your biblical sermon

With or without you I will be their Dad
now and always without a doubt
so jump in or let me jump out.
