* There's a Story behind this poem. It's a take off of a Third Eye Blind song entitled Alright, Caroline. Hence the title of this poem. Anyway I'm going to post the lyrics underneath My poem....Hope You enjoy both.....*
Caroline left him with her heart in the bag at her feet
She couldn't stay here with him so she quickly hit the
street
In her belly there was a baby girl growing
and he would go on with life without ever knowing
Her heart would carry this little secret that their love
made
Every moment she saw his smile on their baby her heart
was going to cave
Their love bore a beautiful baby girl and her heart
sobbed
for she knew the man her daughter never would, oh how
she'd been robbed
It wasn't until that cool autumn's walk when she heard
his voice
It was then she knew she had something to do make that
choice
Should she lie to him or come clean as he begged her to
Her heart hoped maybe things would mend, but knew that
was too good to be true
Their eyes met and she felt him like he felt her
It felt like years passed, a thought which is absurd
Her heart ached as he sat and watched their daughter
sleep
She watched his hand touch her face and felt herself
begin to weep
A smile crossed his face as he saw the baby smile
He looked at her and their eyes met for the longest while
"things could've been so different and if this is how you
want it fine.
I won't take anything from you, my dearest Caroline.
"Just tell her her daddy loved his mother,
but she didn't want to bother.
It's gonna take a long time to forget this
but it's Alright Caroline, later on we'll both realize
what we've missed."
The Lyrics
If you would like to hear this song go to http://www.starcrossedpimps.net and DL it off the demo section which you will find under the audio section part of their music listing
Tell the truth for once just this time
Knowing we've been through it
Baby's eyes look just like mine
We've both been through it
Tell the truth for once just this time
I didn't know how much you
Would take from me
When you kiss this little girl around
Give me back mine
Didn't know what we made laying down
One more time
Tell the truth for once just this time
It just seems that things, it could've been different
I can't change it
So alright Caroline
I won't take nothing from you
Alright Caroline
Even if it means the truth
Alright
When you teach this little girl to walk
Another will remind
There's a price to pay for a place safe to hide
From inside
The truth for once just this time
It seems that things, they could've been different
