Meeting her through a friend, not just wanting to fit in,
Not giving an inch, finally from her I got a grin.

For a while she did without a lover, truly not knowing.
Toward me just being a man, resentment was showing.

This woman named Regina seemed calm.
I`m not a mind reader; I couldn't even read her palm.

See, within her Regina's mind was rattled.
Struggles from life, how she fought and battled.

See, longing for a child, always it burned in her like fire.
Having two miscarriages, a child was still her yearning desire.

It happened in other relationships; emotional scars that'll always last.
Regina was pregnant again, still reminded of the past.

See, her feelings for having children she thought were toned down.
For six years I melted her heart, taking away that sad frown.

When she would cry, it was innocent, having a secret charm.
I worked for the trust and love, trying to keep her from harm.

Convincing Regina this baby will be born alive didn't make this a lie.
Then our daughter, Holly, turned three but later Regina wanted to die.

Always of Holly and finally with me, Regina was well pleased.
But now for Regina, life doesn't matter, the mind will never be eased.

Arguing neighbors, shattered window, a bullet through Holly's chest!
Right here is where I should stop... but I'll tell you the rest.

In my arms my little girl's life slipped away.
Feeling worthless; nothing anyone could do or say.

My baby lay in my arms like she was asleep.
In Regina's eyes you could see the pain was deep.

Now Regina is crawling back into her shell.
Why is life like this; can anyone please say or tell?

This makes you see what life truly is: loneliness.
See, it's really hard for anyone to describe emptiness.

You try to find something in this world to call your own.
Then life takes it all away; a part of your soul is gone.

In my mind, the Lord can only be the reliever.
In reality, this has made me a true believer.
