why do I keep chasing knives?
when all that I want is to be a good man’s wife-
Tell me how to stop this puzzle from bleeding and beating me down- (out?)

Yesterday I went for a walk-
I cried as I saw a family ride their bikes past me-
Why does everything I want in life slip through my hands?
When I reach out to taste it- it all floats away again.

Maybe it’s a consolation prize-
But I’ve never been more proud of the woman I’ve become-
So even if I’m crying and dining alone-
I know one day I’ll meet my maker
He won’t be a stranger
And we’ll talk of all the miracles that we’ve created together-
So don’t feel sorry for me. ❤️
