I may not be perfect
I may not be terrific.
Sorry but I am me
and I will always be.
You never see me,
You look past, see.
Years of need,
You didn't heed.
I love you, its true
but your cruel.
My tears have begun to fade,
After an entire decade.
My heart begins to die,
Like always though I will get by.
I stand and watch you
Inside I need you.
But you don't want me,
Your happy see
As long as I am here,
You will not fear.
I cannot walk away
Our kids have the say.
Both parents they want,
But both parents are naught.
As I amto you nothing,
I am their everything.
I am mom and dad,
Yes that's sad...
Twenty four seven, day or night...
I am the one who brings the light.
All needs always met,
Love and kindness can't forget.
We are together,
He is alone forever.
He chose his path,
He can do the math.
Some say at least he is there...
Just wish he took the time to care.
To me having been free
Always cold and hungry
I can see their view
Wish they'd see mine too.
So we three,
Two kids and me
Long for a place
Some kind of space
Within the shielded heart.
Where we are never apart.
That though is a pathetic and dead dream...
To stand by and only watch it may seem.
