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
