You have said you love me
told me at some point each day,
I love you, we hang together, we
play together, you let me get my way
Had some rough times, even so
through all of it, we stayed together
we worked it out as you know
not always in agreement…
When our day was through we let it go
worked for each other to survive
eat together, sleep, toiled ya know
you promised you would not die or disappear
Then one day you say you are going
on your own way, I say where
“Really“ just like that, leaving somewhere
What is that, what is wrong, what purpose
Dad is mom driving you away, am I
will you be coming back soon, go, why
have you been lying to me, us - Good bye
now I’m left to wonder, what could I’ve said
“as I cry”
