A Life Never Lived

A Life Never Lived

I hear them quarrel

About my life

So cold and immorel

Words like a knife

 

The truth is ungloved

I am not wanted

I am not loved

I feel quite daunted

 

How can this be?

I want to live!

To be us three

To grow and thrive

 

I want to learn from you two

What is right and wrong

To get through and through

To be big and strong!

 

I want the chance

To live a life

To have a dance

With my future Wife

 

To see my little ones

Run and play

To watch my sons

Grow up someday

 

I want the chance to grow old

To remember the time

That was so gold

And sublime

 

And when my life decides to end

My thought of both of you

As I  descend

Oh how blessed I was  to know you two.

 

But the decision was made

I will never grow

I feel dismayed

But I want you to know

 

I desperately want the both of you

The thought of us three

I wish I could change that to be true!

My father, my mother, and me
