No Hard Feelings

by Augusta   Jul 3, 2005


I blame him pretty often
Although it wans’t all his fault
That our rocky road relationship
Came crashing to a halt

I say he always messed up
That he was always doing wrong
That he wasn't really good enough
I never saw us lasting long

But the truth is when I pulled away
I pushed him to the brink
Cause every time I turned my back
It made him start to think

He figured out there was no love
There wasn't any hope
And he gave up everything he had
He gave it up for dope

And he lost his only dignity
He lost his sense of pride
He gave up his own child
His shame he could not hide

And so finally I realize...
It took some time but now I see
His way of dealing with his pain
Was some methamphetamine

And now although I’ve got it rough
I still can not feel hate
Because every time I see our daughter
I realize it was fate

    I wrote this about my daughter's father. He's not in our lives at all because he's too far gone... Its really sad actually.
