When I left, did you feel betrayed?
Hurt...because I chose him?
Would things be different if I would've stayed?
Or would I have died without him?

I left for me...for a better life,
To get away from the problems.
I could not handle the pain and strife...
I needed to leave to solve them.

Do you resent me now that I'm gone?
I don't even get a call...
I cannot think of what I did wrong
If I even did anything at all...

At night I sit and cry in my bed
And I still don't know why I do...
It must be due to the things never said
And the fact, that deep down, I miss you.

You're still my blood, my mother...
The one who put me here.
I thought we'd love each other
Forever...yet you're no longer near...

     He took you from me...
     And now you're gone...
          ...I'm nothing to you anymore...*

"In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..."

Nice job... I like the rhyme, the rhythm, the subject... really good.

One suggestion - in this stanza:

"Do you resent me now that I'm gone?
I don't even get a call...
I cannot think of what I did wrong
If I even did anything at all..."

I think the whole thing would flow better if you made it

"Do you resent me now that I am gone?"

Having that extra syllable seems to make it flow better.

That's just my opinion, though.

I liked this Jenn...But I agree with blueeyedlioness on that line. Good job none the less.
