: Cheated Lives
on Thursday, June 09 @ 20:30:05 UTC
Poison writes:: " Cheated Lives

I gathered the pieces of an otherwise normal life
Wondering just who would be the one to explain this to your wife


The ghostly imprint of where a ring once was told me she was waiting
I figured when she found out she would definitely need sedating

I found your wallet laying there as I wondered just who you were
That’s when I saw all the pictures of just you and her
My heart sank to the pit of my stomach the next few minutes a blur
Wondering would he be caring as he explained these things to her

As I open up your brief case I found this little note
Its cold and its raining outside daddy, don’t forget your coat
Written by a child’s hand who could be no more than seven
Who was going to explain to them that daddy’s gone to heaven

Nothing was really out of place except a reason why
Standing there in the rain, note in my hand I began to cry
I don’t know why or what you were doing out here alone in the rain
I can’t seem to figure out why you didn’t hear nor see the train

She’ll come to visit you often with all the same questions I’m sure
Because there will always be a pain in her for which there is no cure
She’ll bring to you fresh flowers and place them on your grave
Pictures and sweet memories are all she has left of you to save
