It's Up To You

granted it’s not your problem kudos you’ve made efforts in the past some people are ill equipped for loving it’s a malfunction of their heart now on his deathbed he asks that you call ~ might it be to apologize? there would be better ways but if you don’t reach out you’ll never know you’d be in your right to call and say I was told you wanted to hear from me here I am… and wait in blatant silence when you mean here’s your chance to apologize for your years of neglect know that karma has a sting ~ you’ll never regret having given him an opportunity and if he blows it, that’s all on him sperm donor there one minute gone the next he’s much too late for asking how you feel now is time for his judgment day and the real question is how if he feels you hurt me bad when you weren’t there for me it felt to me much like the cancer that grows within you now do you understand how much I needed you ~ how do you feel about that?
