Im Sitting Here In A Hotel Bathroom
While Our Children Lay In A Hotel Bed
While You Lay In A Comfy Bed
How Is This Fair
We Had To ReAdjust Our Lives For You To Live
What Did We Do
Why Do We Deserve This
The Lies
The False Promises
That Wasn’t Enough Hurt For You
You Had To Hurt Us More
Why
I Let You Play Hero
I Protected Your Name
It Shouldn’t Be This Way
You Know You're Wrong Yet You Play Victim So Well
I Always Look Crazy
I Always Seem Jealous But You And I Both Know That Aint What It Is
Im Just Tryin To Keep Them Safe From Th Same People Who Are Supposed To Love Them
I Know You Swear You Do
But What You Did Wasn’t Love
It Was Personal Gain
You Got To Hurt Us All One Last Time
You Just Couldn’t Help Yourself
It's Like Our Pain Brings You Peace
Because Lets Be Honest It's Always Been You That’s Been Crazy An Jealous
Obsessed With EveryThing I Do
Copying My Style Like That’s All I Am
Jealous Of The Bond We Have
Spent EveryDay Tryin To Break It Not Knowin I Taught Em How To Play You
No Way They Going To Get Hurt Because They Love Me
Told Them AnyThing For Them
And I Do EveryThing To Make Sure They Know I Meant It
Even Sit In This Hotel Bathroom
Just So They Know
I'd Never Leave
I'd Never Abandon Them
I'd Never Do What You Did
They'll Never Be Alone

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
