Why


It's another day, Am up refreshed and hopeful Goodbye kisses planted on her cheek and lips Same goes for the kids Out on the streets on with a prayer ib my heart, bless today and may it run smooth and good In the office deep in my work and wishing time would slow, vibration in my pants, a chill ul my spine and quiver in my heart. It's your message and at sight it's registered on my face the melancholy I feel. Why, why now. We spoke yesterday, I texted to plead you never replied Why, why now Am back home with you on my knees I went to say again how sorry I felt, mute you stayed ignoring my being Why, why now, now that am at work trying to make ends for you and the little ones we made Why.
