I walked down the stair well...

 

Pacing back and forth...

 

You and I were given this day...

 

Today was supposed to be the day you came my way...

 

 

 

I waited and waited...

 

It was finally here, I am losing my patience...

 

I put on my favorite dress...

 

He says I always look my best...

 

 

 

I remember the days we laughed...

 

And played on the swing set...

 

He took my hand...

 

And promised to take me to a far away land...

 

 

 

He said I was the most beautiful girl...

 

The one who changed his world...

 

When he first laid his eyes on me...

 

he said he knew there was more to love...

 

 

 

He chased me around the yard...

 

picked me up and tossed me around...

 

he said I only deserved the finer...

 

So don't settle for just any old lover...

 

 

 

I woke up one morning...

 

To find he was not in his bed sleeping...

 

He was not in the kitchen cooking...

 

he wasn't even outside running...

 

 

 

I found my mother on the balcony...

 

She explained my new reality...

 

She begged and told me she was sorry...

 

This could not be real...he is my daddy....

 

 

 

He told me my game...

 

was going to be as good as Mia Hamm...

 

My next game he wasn't there...

 

It was someone else's dad on the sideline...

 

 

 

How did I get here...

 

What will I become now...

 

He said I would always surpass...

 

But I lay in the grass and beg on my knees...

 

 

 

My heart bleeds...

 

I think it sprung another leak...

 

I am looked at and judged...

 

as the weak and undefined...

 

 

 

When you go from having it all...

 

To being broke, homeless, and without your father...

 

And everything around you seems to be sinking...

 

Faster than quicksand...

 

 

 

You can't breathe...

 

You can't hold it anymore...

 

you too will fall...

 

Under it all...

 

 

 

Like the domino...

 

Or the bow to the arrow...

 

you lose one...

 

see how fast it can deteriorate...

 

 

 

Does it make sense now?

 

Do I still seem to be over powering...

 

You were so quick to pull out the rug...

 

The last pull, the very last tug...

 

 

 

I am more lost now than ever...

 

I cannot be this way forever...

 

One day this will all be a thing in the past...

 

And may be one day when I am famous...

 

You will know what you lost...

 

I hope you are filled with subtlety and regret...

 

 

 

I lost the one man I loved...

 

to the bottom of the bottle...

 

you think this will be the end of me...

 

that is not what I deserve...

 

I deserve the universe...

 

I love with my whole heart...

 

you seem to carry a collection...

 

doesn't mean you got away with mine...

 

I will carry it with me...

 

Until the real man I love...

 

Comes home...

 

He is the one who knows me...

 

He is the one who loves me...

 

He is more to me than your distant memory...

 

Go away and be lost like my words...
