Please Excuse My Loneliness, by Katrise Hall

Woke up in a lonely bed, seemed like an autumn day,

I saw a masculine silhouette,

wiped my eyes,

your image faded away.

I got out of bed,

bathed myself,

dressed myself,

without your help.

I opened my front door,

the fresh breeze hit me,

just like you did my walls,

you’d move so swiftly.

I put on my suede-insulated raincoat,

and walked out my front door,

once you heard my black suede heels,

you’d see me no more.

I went to work,

then went to school,

to pick up my baby,

who was only two.

Just for a treat,

took my baby to the diner,

for an ice cream cone,

which was only minor.

I sat in the booth,

where me & my ex-boyfriend met,

he’s my baby's father, he left me,

I wish he was sentenced to death.

Speakin’ of the devil,

the bastard approached me,

“Why long face? Lack of happiness? “

I grabbed my baby's hand and said,

“Please excuse my loneliness.”
