Karma

Momma woke me up one day 

Over and over the phone had rang 

He’s gone 

Packed his things and left today

Left? I was confused

We had a fight

Hard and long

Tears and screaming in each other’s faces 

You convinced me I wasn’t important

For your first “departure” was told late

My heart healed and accepted the cases

Here we are again but worse 

You took your things with all your hate 

You walked out that door without a peep

Off to another state with your fist in the air shaking with a curse

You got here didn’t you

She got what was coming to her fair and square

That mentality you hold and abuse 

You got her but not me

A little girl once your daughter 

But now a second thought in passing 

Do you feel better now?

A daughterless father

Yet a son you hold close and warm

That’s why these emotions are aloud 

For you tell me I don’t know 

My feelings and thoughts were insignificant you scorned 

Bullshit 

Bullshit 

Bullshit 

That’s what you said 

Now here I am 

A fatherless daughter 

Do you feel better now? 

Sleeping alone in bed

But you won, for now, didn’t you? 

For love was a price for you

But not something you could’ve bought her

Not something you could’ve got her 

Something you could’ve taught her

Yet there you are 

The pavement behind you and isolation ahead

Pettiness and anger lead you 

My heart has shattered

For you were here and now you are far

Without a warning or note

You took your things and left in your car

Momma woke me one day 

I became a fatherless daughter 

My heart now is torn and battered

I hope you’re happy knowing vindication leaves a mark

So much I could say

Yet you had no words to me 

Maybe someday the only girl you’ll have is karma

Better be careful because she might actually stay
