Please Excuse My Loneliness

Why long face? Lack of happiness?

Please Excuse My Loneliness

Woke up in a lonely bed,

seemed like an autumn day,

I saw a masculine silhoutte,

wiped my eyes, your image faded away.

I got out of bed,

bathed myself,

dressed myself,

without your help.

I opened my front door,

the fresh breeze hit me,

just like you did my walls,

you'd move so swiftly.

I put on my suede-insulated raincoat,

and walked out my front door,

once you heard my black suede heels,

you'd see me no more.

I went to work,

then went to school,

to pick up my baby,

who was only two.

Just for a treat,

took my baby to the diner,

for an ice cream cone,

which was only minor.

I sat in the booth, where me & my ex-boyfriend met,

he's my baby's father, he left me,

I wish he was sentenced to death.

Speakin' of the devil, the bastard approached me,

'Why long face? Lack of happiness? '

I grabbed my baby's hand and said,

'Please excuse my loneliness.'

    I LOVE your title image, I'm a stickler for great images. The flow of this poem is godlike, and the way you navigate a touchy subject is a testament to your skill.
