He gave his heart, cash and emotions For seven long miserable years He lived through all the commotions Even as words pierced his heart like spears He thought of leaving often enough But thought on his daughter it would be tough So he stayed purely for her sake Oh me! Oh my! What a big MISTAKE.
Cool as cucumber her heart like stone She whispered to him one day after a fight "Kamala is not yours you clown! Her father is coming from abroad tonight" "Lying b*tch!" He screams at her in anger "This is it! I will do this no longer." With that he walked through the door Pass his crying baby girl on the floor.
Ten days later a DNA test proved her right Alcohol got him through the first few days Even though he wasn't a pretty sight. He fodged himself along anyways His heart grew cold; his emotions died But he held on dearly to his pride He learnt to live with his hurt each day He has stopped drinking his sorrows away.
Today the ladies pass through his life He never gave them much of a chance For them to think he is expecting a wife And even though the tunes play, he never dance. He has locked his heart away for good Don't look for love in his neighbourhood Because back in the days as he drank He took all the Cash out of his "Love Bank"
This is so very sad... and sadder still that he let one person took away the essence of life from him. Life is unfair, but at times we have to pick up the pieces, re-build ourselves because we were given the same chances to live the best we can. I understand his plight, I've seen it with my own eyes. Usually they are very nice guys...but sometimes they can get too nice allowing someone much lesser than them to rob them of their rights to live to their fullest!
