Something To Hold On To

He takes one last look back at her
His love, his life
Before he leaves to do what he must
To put food on the table
{{And his little girl watches him through the window}}

The gun is warm in his hands
As he stares at the latest victim
The sirens roar around him
And panic stricken, he runs again
{{He has to see her face, one last time}}

He walks in the house
And his little girl
Their little girl
is playing with her barbies
{{She has no idea, how much he loves her}}

Her mother looks up at him
Her baby blue eyes meet his own
He can't believe what he's done
{{And she smiles, because she still loves him}}

    oh my kayla, why is that the first poem i have come to read in ages is one so sad from you?

    Why does the pain feel so palpable in your words (albiet perhaps it would be more potent if in rhyme or a meter) but i find it alluring and irresistable.

    Why must you make my heart wrench so?

    Bravo

    Very nicely written; took me a while to get the message, but I'm just dumb that way
    I love it though, it's very emotional for both the guy and the mother.
