The Papers

I walk up to you slowly...
not knowing whether or not to smile.
You look at me grinning ear to ear.
Haven't seen you in a while.
I've got a pen in one hand
some papers in another
I dread the following moments
as I hand you our divorce papers.
You look like your heart just dropped
you asked if it was really over and
one more time to tell you why..
I didn't know what to say
except that it's done this time.
You looked at me with tears
I've never seen that before
your hands shaking as you signed
walked away and shut the door.

We've been through so much together
a lot of love but more hate..
Fighting, yelling, nothing short of screaming
but December 13th is the date.

Friday the 13th to be exact.
What do you think of that?

We played really dirty
but I still can't help but feel a little sad
my heart aches for whats happened
sometimes the good outweighed the bad.
I really will miss you
and being called someone's wife
I'm sorry it had to end up this way
I wish you a wonderful life.
We need to be good for our daughter
she deserves the best from us.
I wish that we could just be great friends
but your the last person I can trust.

Then I looked down at the papers
you didn't sign your name
all you wrote was "but I love you"...
don't you understand?
     it'll never be the same.
