CHIME

 

He was the first one you had to know,

As he dropped her off with her hair in a bow,

She relied on him to get to and from work,

As I waited for her to open the door while I lurked.

 

Twenty years ago, I knew I had to watch his moves,

He could be a roadblock to what my love proved,

She would talk about him all the time,

As we would sit on the couch waiting to hear that chime.

 

She would always prepare spaghetti for him,

As you could not sit in his chair under a whim,

As a teenage boy, I may have worried to impress,

But it was simple since the marriage was in a mess.

 

He is responsible that gave her living quarters,

I knew that he was not a concern or a border,

She would stand up for him and knew he was mistreated,

I never judge him as she would make my heart beating.

 

The best quality of her was she felt sorry for this guy,

Even though he did not give her big brown eyes,

He was the male figure that made her what she is today,

She will rekindle with her founder as it is lost time to pay.

 

It was too easy tonight to spot all the mistakes,

No more taking part of a role or drama with the fakes,

I am on a bigger mission that I will come to the top,

Recalling that evening I had the approval with my mop.

 

The world will know about the accounting scandals,

I do not stand alone as she is my eternal candle,

I gave them too many fair chances and I will not be afraid,

I owe a lot to that cat as it made the final grade.

 

Love was in her eyes and there will be no fear,

Ten years of cruelty as no one is going to interfere,

Denise, hold on I am coming to give you liberation,

Love can be worth the wait, but I am not that patient.
