Ego’s Fall

With a smile on his face, he puts his truck in park
She invited him over without even a date, he thinks it was the spark

They exchange pleasantries and lay down
He believes he deserves this, as he looks around

He’s smiling at what he thinks is a win
He’s blinded, she will be his greatest sin

She thinks he’s okay, but needs a father for her fatherless child
She needs him to stick around, regardless of her mileage

He believes he deserves this and she makes him believe so
She saw his weakness all along, his ego

She will feed it as long as she needs to
He’s clueless about the plot, unfortunately this is something he needs to go through

Years pass, she’s gotten what she wanted and more
He’s doing more than expected, he’s convinced there’s happiness in store

She balances what she wants to do with filling his ego
He’s home with the kids as she goes to and fro with them and who

The plot begins revealing itself
Realizing the damage his ego has done to his health

He had to go through this hell to grow and stand tall
He needed her to showcase his flaws, a battle he won with ego’s fall
