My God, I�m not ready for Motherhood
Besides, I�m just not good with kids
I can�t even cook anything
That doesn�t have microwave lids
And what about my vicious temper?
I slam doors, and holler, and shriek
And often the language I utter
Would color a sailors own cheek
I don�t know how to hold babies!
I panic when one of them cries
I�ve never even felt motherly-like
I was always just one of the guys
Don�t ask if I�ll breastfeed or use bottles
Just the thought makes me faint dead away
Using cloth or disposable diapers?
I can just feel my hair turning gray
I guess I could learn to make bottles
And changing diapers can�t be all that bad
And who knows if I could have another
After the accident I had
Besides, I�d have someone who needed me
Someone whose love never dies
Maybe she would have my sense of humor
Maybe he would have his father�s eyes
Maybe I�ll learn to cook something
Other than canned beans and spam
I didn�t think I was ready for motherhood
Maybe Some One else thinks I am

One straight answer
That�s all that she asks for
But he turns away
And he closes the door
Just to be held
For a minute or so
But his friends soon arrive
Or he has to go
But when they�re alone
He�s so much more kind
He kisses her gently
And she doesn�t mind
But morning arrives and she�s left alone
She�ll wait by the door
For him to come home
She knows she�ll never have him
He knows he makes her cry
She�s too stupid to forget him
He�s too smart to let her try
Traitor�s Heart�
By: Stephanie Kimball
I would like to meet the woman with whom you fell in love
Take her to the tallest building and give her a little shove
Cause she�s the one who made you the way you are today
And her rejection of your feelings is what made you act this way
She used you and she hurt you and she tore your world apart
And the only thing she gave you was a lying Traitor�s Heart
For now the only love you give is full of evil mirth
And what it takes to love you is not a penny�s worth
You speak kind and gentle words but underneath you�re mean and lying
And the women that you claim to �love� are left confused and crying
You draw them in then shut them out, once they are deceived
I was one of those women, whom, in you, once believed
The effect you once had on my life is not there anymore
No longer can I stand to be treated like a whore
And so, I�m getting out before my world is torn apart
I�d rather live my life alone than love your Traitor�s Heart.

Tonight will end the same as before
Heated words, a slam of the door
Cause you don�t love me anymore
That�s why we always fight
I lie awake alone bed
Your angry words spinning in my head
Sometimes I wish that I was dead
But I know that isn�t right
Yet we make up, we always do
You say �love ya�, yeah, I love you too
But deep inside it isn�t true
And now we�re back to lying
Then you�ll start staying out all night
Take off the ring, turn out the light
�my wimfe don�t know when I�m out of sight.�
Yes I do cause I�m home crying
You make up lies to hide your deed
You want me back, you beg and plead
I say �no� you hit, I bleed
So now it�s come to blows
I pack all of my things and leave
I�m at my mother�s, you believe
You come for me, a child�s conceived
That�s my life, and so it goes

Is it wrong for me to want you, and to dream of you at night?
Should I tell you not to hold me, though in your arms I feel so right
Should I deny myself the pleasure that engulfs me when you�re near?
And forget the gentle loving words you knew I longed to hear
Should I even trust you, I�ve been hurt so much before
What if I should fall for you, would you accept or close the door?
If I told you how I felt would you be gone without a trace?
Are there any others all lined up to take my place?
Should I give my whole self to you and be at your beckon call?
But when I�m not there with you would you think of me at all?
Is this small note I wrote you not worth the time it took to send
Would you want me for your own or would I just be a friend?
