WON’T BACK DOWN, By Ryan Guiley September 24, 2016
WON’T BACK DOWN
I just wanted to live a life,
Without the fame and success,
As long, I could ever be your wife,
Till they took you, it was a mess.
Sure I can buy you a larger ring,
Or a household of expensive goods,
But all that matters, is having you bring,
Our wedding day, how together we stood.
You can’t do this alone, without me,
Together we will fight the battles,
Somehow, I have to make you see,
You need two oars in order to paddle.
We have already lost five years,
That you can’t take it back,
I have written out all of my fears,
And have over 300 letters of the true facts.
I am driven at it, full steam ahead,
I will be the husband, who won’t back down,
I will be running to you and standing instead,
No one can take my memory of you in your gown.
The battle scars, I gave you from the miscarriage,
Only a mother knows, what it is to lose,
The immense pain, as this was not part of the marriage,
A lost soul, who had purpose to carry the news.
Sharp instruments that cut through,
Like hell, I am allowing them to advance,
You know that I have always been so true,
I’m up and coming, and we will finally dance.
But you made a choice, for our children,
You can’t exclude me in the process,
It is time for me and my letters to defend,
The ones responsible who will undress.
