I am brought to my knees
in tears as he kisses me one last time, then turning his back he walks out the front door. His bags are in his hands and here I kneel on the floor alone. I am brought to my knees in anger as I hear the whispers about his new girl and there new love. He's telling her all the things he told me and here I kneel on the floor alone. I am brought to my knees, so scared, holding the little paper strip between my fingers. The double blue lines reminding me that there is something else... someone else... growing inside of me and here I kneel on the floor alone. I am brought to my knees with decisions. I can't do this by myself. I can't be another single mother on wel-fare, my baby's daddy long gone. I'm not even through the heart break yet and I'm still kneeling on the floor, alone. I am brought to my knees in pain. My stomache tightens as liquid gushes from my insides. The hospital's attempt at comfort only makes me nauseas. I push and scream as I kneel on the floor, still alone. I am brought to my knees in tears. as I kiss my daughter's soft chocolate skin. Thank heavens she looks nothing like him. Her tiny eyes stare up at me as her tiny fingers wrap around mine... and here I kneel on the floor no longer alone.
