What did you feel when you saw those adoring eyes
looking back at you , expectant , dependent
and then the tearful cries
It must be a state of helplessness
when you should feel joy ,
but just feel distress
It must cut deep , when you expect
contentment , but feel resentment
A slave to the womb and society
Not your choice , not really
It was just a mistake , wasn’t meant to be
it could have went so differently
Who is in trouble now , Is it me
no it’s you – because of me
hard to hide that hostility
Thank you for my cold heart
it protects me from pain
Thank you for my independence
I’ll do it myself again
Thank you for your disappointment
it pushes me , makes me fight
Thank you for your frustration
its provided me special insight
Where were we then , a little wander
from the road – pulled me harder
did you wish i went farther
Was never held , no time that i can see
not one picture , not one with me
The chasm was never traversed , the side(s)
they never touched , gap was much too wide
There was a time , i believe .. a turning
maybe , was just the last gasp of yearning
it must have been a brief twist of the mind
it wasn’t truly real
the struggle wasn’t mine
How do you think i felt , when i saw your sad eyes
looking back at me , hoping that i would fight
to protect you from his lies
