Wrist bands

lyrics by: Andrew Dietrich
Written on Jun 27, 2021

my ring in the car
She took it so far
The paper that I could never rip
She took it and has it in her grip
I had to leave it all
No physical  memories at all
What's that on my shoe that orange thing
Why is my son's birthday on that thing
And mommies name....
How did this follow me here
Wristbands always near
Different  dates for different fates
What's that son? Daddy will get it
Stinky  stop freaking out let me get it
Its not a bug son.... why is daddy crying
Its not a bug its an eyelash
Memories turned to ash
Pictures is all I have
Her scent burnt into my being 
There is no forgetting
I don't want to forget
So many voices telling me to forget
Its not even that I can't
Its because I don't want to
What do I do
She thought she wasn't worth all this
That I would forget her bliss
She never understood her selfworth
I love her so much,my son she gave birth
Off my facial reactions she fled
I wish honesty came out instead
I'm sorry dammit all those things you hid
I don't care
All those things.... I found out and even more I've found out. I'm beating a dead horse
She won't understand 
That I love her no matter how bad
I get so frustrated  because she thinks
I hate her
