More of a freestyle. I did no editing
Just a 5 minute write that helped rid
10 months of bothering. Should have
Wrote this sooner..I feel a lot better
.
.
.
This is a chapter about my life
and the reason for my strife
I have a daughter tis 10 months old
most of my readers already know.

It all started before she was born
Her mother my heart she did tear
She told me she no longer cares
thus the reason my heart is torn.

We dated for about seven months
For love I no longer had to hunt
during that time we had intercourse
getting her pregnant had I no remorse.

The day that she found out the news
I was left months in dark without a clue
she told me that I had ruined her life
and I would never take her as wife.

So months passed by, alone I did cry
I found out she was with another guy
It took 6 months to tell me childs sex
waiting during that time left me vexed.

The day my child was conceived
No phone call I did not receive
In another man was she held in arms
Getting to recieve all her charms.

She took one thing I did wish
My babys birth did I miss
and anguish in heart does reside
pain never to go away until I die.

I will look back with saddened heart
For things done to tear me apart
But to pain and anger I try to yield
No longer wish I to walk in hates field.

"Only"

Because I have a new treasure "My Pearl"
And What's That? Tis Daddy's Baby Girl.


Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Whew! That was a real raw write ~ and I bet you truly do feel better after having vented all that pent up emotion!

From the grit in the oyster of your life, a Pearl has been born unto you!
