For the umpteenth time...

I was asked for the umpteenth time...
What did she leave you
She didn't leave me anything because she never left me
That has become the standard reply

I talked to her today just as I talked to you
The difference...
Like always she listens and you don't

You again asked
How much where you left

I replied, "Millions"
Millions of memories

The kind that keep me grounded
Like when you hear an old ballad that touched your heart and all you can do is smile

You crabs in the barrel have me confused
I may look like you but I've evolved

I thought the object was to escape and not keep each other trapped
You hinder me by asking questions that are not now
nor will they every be relevant  
The who, what, went, where and why doesn't apply here
If you feel that you've missed something
You have

I wasn't the Son I should have been
I will be the man I'm suppose to become
I should have ended your drive for personnel gains at the door
but I let that your family thing get in the way

So for the umpteenth time
What she left me wasn't for you
I have her heart...do you
