Shawn Jones Poet Dramatic Monologue

My Family Just Hears the Words Good- Bye

MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE

I WANT MY FAMILY BACK
MY HEART HAVING A ATTACK
I KNOW WE BOTH DID WRONG
BUT MY LOVE ISN’T GONE
I’M TRYING TO HOLD ON

I DRIVE BY JUST TO SEE YOUR CAR
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
I DON’T HAVE A FAMILY WITHOUT YOU
TEARS FROM BROTHER AND SISTER
PAIN INSIDE FROM ME AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER

MONTHS GO BY AS I LAID IN BED AND CRY
MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE
HOW DO I GET UP AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE
CAN I GIVE YOU ONE MORE TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT

I WANT MY FAMILY BACK
I WAIT FOR YOUR CALL 
HOLD ON WITH WHAT I GOT LEFT IN YOUR PACK
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU COUNTED ON ME
NOW YOUR 18 AND FREE

I THOUGH I COULD DO IT ALL WITHOUT YOU
THAT’S WHAT YOU SAID TOO
MONTHS GO BY AS I LAID IN BED AND CRY
MY FAMILY JUST HEARS THE WORDS GOOD- BYE
