REPLACEMENT

© RYAN GUILEY

There’s a reason why,

I only approached one person,

As I knew who the other is,

Keep hiding identities.

Keep changing them up,

I will always know where she is,

Living beside me,

Right inside the same house.

There’s no replacement,

She can’t escape from me,

Denise, why are you on their side?

Working with them shall stop.

It is not supposed to be,

Like this, as you can see,

Why should we all be divided?

It is all just one sided.

Every day moments are lost,

Nothing replaces it with a cost,

So many years taken away,

As this is not the right way.

I don’t want a photograph,

I need you and your laugh,

Our family is the only one,

That loses, not having fun.

Nothing can take back time,

As they committed the crime,

As our kids grow up without us,

Not teaching them, how to trust.
