A New Lady


How do you expect to come back and everything be okay? I was just a little girl and you left, You left us for her, You had everything anyone could ever want; a beautiful wife, amazing children, and a successful career. And you left it all. You left it all for a feeling that no one could ever give you. You spent the money that was to feed your children, you cheated on your beautiful wife, you stole from work, and you lost the trust of everyone around you. You left us for her. She made you feel special. She made you feel numb. She made you forget the pain, She was your new lady, and her name is Heroin.
