Why couldn't you make it work
You say you tried,
Tried it twice
But you failed.
You put your happiness
Clearly before mine
Said I was holding
You back and didn't want you
To be happy
Ever again.
That I wanted you to die alone.
But then you sit there
Crying to me
Because he doesn't love you
He doesn't look at you
The way daddy did.
You broke daddy's heart once
And built it back up
To tear it down again.
Oblivious to the audience affected around you.
You accuse me of conniving against you
That I am just going to cut you off
Like brother did
Maybe I didn't get it when I was six
When you moved another man into our house
Not even one week after daddy left
But I understand now that you did it again
Replaced him, replaced them all with someone else
You think the world is out to get you
You lost your mom, your dad, all your grandparents,
A sibling, you're husband, your fiancé,  your son.
When will you learn.
When will you see, that you push
Every single person in your life away
And the only left there for you
Is me.
