Waiting at the Window

A reused excuse
And another empty promise
I've given up on waiting
At the living room window
With my shoes on
And my bag packed
The humiliation was only the beginning
of the little girl’s problems
As she grew up
It became more and more obvious
She didn’t have the only man
She needed
He should've been there
Taking pictures on her first day of school
And her last first day of high school
Telling her that he loves her and congratulations
Instead he doesn't show up
And doesn't call or text
And all of a sudden
I'm the little girl waiting at the window again
