She said I was a good person.
And hoped I would be ok.
She was sorry she had to hurt me,
As she finally ran away.
It took 20 years and then some.
Four children and many tears.
Although she said there was fun,
her words still ring in my ears....
"I never thought the day would come", she said "where I just can't go on."
You see her supply of hopes and dreams, had finally come and gone.
As she dangled from the very end of her rope,
I reached out my hand.
I told her please, there is still hope,
but she slowly looked away and let go, not knowing where she'd land.
