The End
How long it's been? A million years.
Since we last spoke, it seems.
Like lil' Engine thought he could
My engine's out of steam.
I found you once, you moved cross town;
I knocked up on your door.
You answered, your eyes full of hate
"Don't come here, mom! No more!"
I heard him cry, from down the hall;
My heart came to my throat.
I asked to see my grandson once
You said, "now Mom, take note."
"Sure you can see my baby's face,
But it will hurt you more."
"For when I take him from your arms;
Then show you to the door."
My heart was broke, it's nothing new;
For when it comes to you.
The pain and hurt you bring to me
That's all you know to do.
But thanks to you, I saw the truth
The girl I went to see.
It's not the same girl, I once knew
I wonder, where is she?
You spewed your hate, your voice, it rose;
I asked you one last time.
The words you spew, just emptiness;
Your words? Not worth a dime!
You stood with me, Stood toe to toe;
A stranger, there you stood.
You shut me out. You want me gone?
Perhaps, that's best, I should.
I heard your words, they stung a bit;
But pain is nothing new.
For pain is all I get from you
And cry, is all I do.
But something seemed so different
As I left your house that day.
Resolve I had with in myself;
Away from you, I'll stay.
Words last I said, "You best be sure!"
"I won't be back again!"
And then I turned and walked away;
You got your wish! The end!
