The Break-Up

She arose to go to service,
while I stared at the sun.
And little did I realize
the break-up had begun.

I slither to the living room
with last night on my face.
She glides out the front door,
and hums "Amazing Grace".
Turning to the TV
I let the ballgame run.
And little did I realize
the break-up had begun.

Creeping to the afternoon,
in serenity I lie.
Breaking up my daydream,
the baby gives a cry!
Where is that woman?
Why isn't worship done?!
Little did I realize
the break-up had begun.

Guidry's got 'em 3-an-2,
and all may be lost.
For 8 and 2/3 innings
a no-hit game was tossed.
She brings in "fruit of the Spirit"
but I did not notice one.
And little did I realize
the break-up had begun.

She arose to start a new life,
while I held my only one.
And little did I realize
the break-up had begun.
