Promises unkept, hidden secrets untold
letters from another, the truth unfolds
Gone past hours, should have been home
not where you said you'd be, a heart that roams
The sun coming up, still no word from you
wondering who is it this time, is it someone new?
The kids start to wake and I haven't gone to bed
I look in their faces seeing questions unsaid.
I give them a hug and hold them tight
At least they know Mommy is here, every night.
You walk through the door like nothing is new
You no longer hide what it is that you do.
You set your coat down and glance my way,
then go take a shower and go on with your day.
We watch as again you go out the door
As I hold my kids as my knees hit the floor.
Silence fills the room as we sit and stare
waiting for a man's return who we know won't be there.
