I EXPECTED

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I expected her to feel my sadness, and for her to care,
But all she ever gave me, was just more despair.

I expected her to see my face, my eyes in such pain
Instead I got another reprimand, and her disdain,

I expected her to hug me, and help me feel better,
But I just got her anger, that made me regret her,

I expected it would be harder, for me to just walk away,
But now that I’ve forgotten her, I smile every day!

I still love doing the things in my life that bring me joy. Like being a father, a friend, creating new music, or a new poem. Creating a good meal to share with family and friends. These are just a few of the passions that bring joy to my life. That joy is what keeps me loving the life I have been blessed with.
