Where's my Universe?

We were supposed to live happily ever after.

We had so many good times and so much laughter.

It still feels like a dream,

All those bruises you left on my cheek.

I never thought you were capable of this.

You made think we would last with every kiss.

I yelled, please don’t call the cops!

Then on the door I heard a knock.

As I rode in the ambulance,

I was scared.

And when I got to the hospital,

Everyone stared.

I caressed my stomach and cried, my baby!

After the doctor said, I’m sorry, I can’t find a heartbeat.

They asked if I wanted to stay and deliver her

But I said, no, I just want to go home.

My mother wiped my tears and whispered,

You deserve more, the stars, the moon and the Earth

Down to its core.

In my heart, I knew this

And began to blame you for every moment watching her grow up

That I would miss.

I deserve the stars, the moon and the Earth

But you never saw my worth.

All I wanted was for you to sing to me and hold my hand in the car

But instead every night you wanted to drink and drive to the bar.

When I was little

I dreamed of being someone’s princess,

Him calling me beautiful and taking care of me nonetheless.

So I knew this wasn’t it.

This was a nightmare,

I had to wake up and omit.

I couldn’t believe this had become my reality.

The love of my life was also mine and my daughter’s mortality.

I deserve more.

I deserve the stars, the moon and the Earth.

I knew this

So I took my love and I left,

I went to find my bliss.
