Meant To Be Forever

A heat started at my toes creeping 
up my body
Warmth engulfed me, voices 
now disembodied 
Pictures of me, you, and our 
babies such joy
Funny never seen you as an 
uptight alter boy 
I drift back through time and
 all we have been through
The love I felt so quickly 
even you never knew
We climbed mountains to 
get where we were 
When it all came together
 on this we can concur
Our time just us, how you 
always made me smile 
I was never happier until I 
walked down that aisle 
When our son came, no daddy 
felt so much pride
Everyone joked how the baby 
they’d have to hide 
Drifting even further now I 
headed towards a light
But I hear your voice crying 
out telling me to fight
Looking down from above 
I see you crying 
Screaming at the doctors
 “No she’s isn’t dying!”
Then I hear a baby crying cradled 
within your arms
Is that our baby girl I swore none 
would ever harm
Wait where am I? Did I just 
have our lil girl baby? 
Waking I tell you “ The papers have been 
filed, I’m no longer am I your lady!”
“You didn’t care about us and your 
actions I cannot stand”
“tomorrow isn’t promised to us 
nor can it be planned”
“You see our kids need a 
true a parent and that is who I am!”
“You see I stuck around your the 
one who left us damn...!”
“A parent is for always and 
one who will always stay”  
“Here right now I promise I will 
give our kids forever and a day!” 
“You left me and your babies 
because you was so selfish”
“See my motives are righteous 
I’m not being rebellious” 
You took the cowards way out 
Thinking only of yourself our 
kids you didn’t stop to think about 
Our dance ended then 
It was you who showed us, 
on you we cant depend 
So it’s this true love that 
you condemned, 
you cursed us and that’s why we 
have reached our final end
