His Phone Call

12/10/2019 Have you ever sat there listening at the door when both your kids are sleeping beside you on the floor? You listen for his voice again but cannot hear a thing you think the phone call ended then you hear the ring. Did he know you were awake when his mistress came to call? What is the thought in his mind That no one would take the fall? For now it is the problem of not one parent but two to find an explanation as to why their mommy’s blue. They wonder if it was their noise or the messes that they made You try to tell them they are fine It was you who was well played. You try to show them that you can move on without your man But in the end, this all just sucks This was definitely not the plan.
