Angela
Angela waits by the phone for a call that never comes
she is always just a few short to meet the deadlines
Angela I wish would change and I thought once she did
but she fooled me and now my tears are flowing freely
I wished for her to be just a good person
don't even try to be my mother anymore
just a person of substance...but sadly it never has materialized
Angela life spins more out of control
taking chances hoping for the quick buck
until one day soon someone, somewhere will end her luck
she is conniving and deceitful but everyone meets their match
and when that day I arrives
all I can do is simply pray
pray that God will have mercy, pray that the other party will too
walking on eggshells is not something I want to do
but more often than not I see them under my feet
why can't this all stop? God please just bring her back
back to reality to see what she is doing to other people
pull her from the enemy, take her out of the sea of sharks
is there a miracle I should be waiting for?
or is she just too far gone?
the sadness remains as the days push forward
Angela, Angela can you hear me?
say something in this darkness to give us hope
have we lost you Angela?
words are just that, words
and sometimes despite the best of intentions
they don't work....
