I've always been an absentee
Now and forever distant
Looking for closeness by degrees
From someone less resistant
I need a hub around which to spin
One more heart to tear apart
An easy target for a rusty dart
A life to waste
A lingering taste of promises broken
Don't know if I was born this way
Or it's a lesson well learned
Like my brothers before me
I was spawned and then I was spurned
The last chick kicked out of the nest
A spitting image of my old man
You break just like my mother
Left you the kids according to plan
The insignificant other
