Connection

You were right here
but, only, you were miles away
I searched your face for something
to make the emptiness go away

I looked for the connection
that had brought us to this place
a smile, a nod, or anthing
but it just was not the case

I was your brand new bride
we'd been married a short time
I never dreamed that with all my faith,
I could ever cross that line

I had your baby boys
wasn't that suppost to make you close to me
I tried my best to take care of you,
but you didn't take care of me

I learned to make homemade bread, and homemade pies
you said "eh, there okay"
I felt invibible to you
and tried to shake that feeling away

I was a beast in bed, nymphotic,
yet your touch just left me numb
I'd still search for that connection
but it had somehow come undone

So I looked out there for help
wondered what I was doing wrong
he said "is your husband there right now?
Is he home or is he gone?"

"No,  he's away today
and the boys are down for naps"
He told me I did nothing wrong
"Your man's an idiot, an ass."

I felt that connection again
only this time, there with him
he acknowledged my existance
and he made my body sing

So now, you have a brand new wife again
and this time, it isn't me
while things with us went wrong with us
from ball and chain I'm free

Go back to school and keep a job
and make her feel she's beautiful
and when you look for a connection
this time I hope it's mutual
