Cash Is Out At The Love Bank

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! Great write... thanks you for sharing thumbs up wine and glad to meet you here handshake
