One More Try

I honestly want to give them one more try But when I think, I ask myself 'Why?' My real mother acted as if I didn't exist anymore And never bothered to show up at the front door My daddy cared enough to come by often to see me There were some times when my mom and dad didn't agree My mother never thought to apologize She hurt me so bad, I wonder if she'll ever realize I honestly want to give them one more try But when I think back, I ask myself 'Why?' She never called me on the phone, and never wrote a letter If she had explained what was going on, I could understand better My daddy comes in and out of my life every few years I'm glad that he came to see me, but I'm still shedding tears My mother lied to me about coming on my fourth birthday I am still hurt when I think about it every day
