Finally I Sleep

I quietly closed the door.. Paced slowly across wooden floor To my bed I could see... The job of sleeping coming to me.. My children laying in all their beds.. Their dreams filled with innocence.. Not knowing what Daddy has done.. No more play with Daddy and fun.. Daddy tucked you in tonight.. But Daddy is losing the greatest fight Daddy is struggling; a house our home.. Daddy loves you; Without her...I'm alone So Daddy loves you still.. But since she left us I've felt ill Daddy tucked you in tonight with no fear But I never promised... I would always be here I hope these pills do work For in deep sleep I'll not hurt Just dream of how our life should have set scene Before all the stuff that should have... never been Don't call me a failure because I tried This was the easy way!!?.who says that lied... My babies I love you and tucked you in tonight.. But without her love....I have no fight.. My head finally feels heavy As I lay on this last melody Yet there is no laughter in tonight For all laughter has took flight Breathing seems to slow I never made the antiques row I once wrote about one last kiss Her breathe...my lungs..dismiss X
