cold reality

we all start out

with bright intentions

choose our partners

and down the road we go

but for some comes

the power struggles

and for the first time

you see the one you're with

the separation

seems the easy way out

why stick around and cry

this cold reality trapped me

between two doors

she would not let me back

and i was too scared to push forward

but halleluiah baby

i am healing

this pain and rage i felt for years is finally leaving

i only have one prayer

it's for my children

hope they pull through and their little world keeps turning

this cold reality. we all feel it's

need to get out

sometimes we act out

in hurtful ways

so validate her

and emphasize with her pain

sounds so simple

how come we learned it too late
