I could have passed the hours side by side with
you,
But you didn't ask.
I could have laid your head on my breast and rocked you to sleep.
But you didn't let me.
I could have listened as you talked,
But you didn't say a word.
Instead you turned your back and refused to look at me.
You shut me out and forgot your promises,
To let me be a part of you.
My heart broke as I watched you decide to be alone while I was here.
You got up and walked away.
