I lie here anticipating the conversation that l'm gonna have to have with my daughter. Lena was pissed as hell when I came in last night, she told me how Frankie was extremely upset that she thought l wasn't coming back. How could I be
So selfish leaving my wife and children at the hotel, worried
Half the night. After Lena gave me a stern talking to, while I was at the beach feeling sorry for myself
I finally called my mother
And suggested that she come meet at the days inn hotel. I gave her the address to where we were staying at
Lena got up early to go to the store
to pick up a few things, she took the girls with her. I know I need to get up and mentally prepared myself for this visit with my judgemental mother
I can't run away from my past
For much longer, l need to face it head on. So I can begin to heal
With the demons that kept me away all these years, l push the covers off of me. I look through my suitcase for something to wear for the day
I pull out a pair of black khakis shorts
And a red short sleeve shirt, l laid my clothes on the bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower.
I turned on the water, while I was waiting for the shower to heat up
I brush my teeth and wash my face
I removed my tee shirt and stepped in the shower. I just wanna get through
This day over it, we have decided to stay another night before we get back on the road again. It doesn't me long
to get wash up, l turn off the water
Grab the towel. And wrapped it around herself and exit the bathroom
When she saw Lena, Frankie coming
Lena had Ariel in the baby carrier
Francesca was carrying a few lite bags in her hand. Lena had the other
Ones, I took my clothes off the bed
And went back into the bathroom to get dress. Lena barely spoke to me
So did, l really messed up badly
I need to stuck up my pride and push my pain to the side. Once l'm through getting dressed, l combed my long blonde hair and exit the restroom
I saw Frankie sitting down at the table
