Dear Life

Dear Life,

I felt the need to write to you as I need to make a complaint
You've really made a big mistake, my world you must repaint.
Why did you wait for such a long time to bring my love to me?
What were you waiting for? It's very plain to see.

You have known me for many years and knew the best for me
Yet you screwed about with all my years and brought me to my knees.
You left me in the freezing cold to face the demons alone
And didn't think for a second that I needed a chaperone.

Did you really think I was strong enough to not get torn apart
Abused and lied to and hurt and cheated so much to break my heart.
I'm really quite disgusted that fifty years have passed
And now you finally show up with a love that may just last.

I've always been a good girl and never asked for much
Just a love to call my own and one with a gentle touch.
The ones you sent me over the years were never any good, 
Broken, twisted, full of holes and I've never understood.

You need to think about the deal you've given me so far
And realise you've fucked up bad and left me full of scars.
Now I feel I should be compensated for all the wrongs you did
And there's one last demand I have and this is what I forbid.
For you to take him away from me and kill my heart for good

I'm waiting very patiently for your letter in reply
With the good news that I'm waiting for that you will now retry
And paint my world with happiness and love for him and I 
And I may just forgive you and never reapply.

Yours truly
Kayla Clark
