I sit here in amazement,
As you head for the door,
Our newborn son is crying,
But you don't love me anymore,

....and so you go.


I live here in this agony,
As the night falls on my skin,
Our wedding day was beautiful,
But I have changed since then,

....and so I cry.


Your son, he looks just like you,
And  he'll never understand,
Just why you didn't love him,
Placing his world is in your hands,

....and still your gone.

My love, I still miss you,
Even though you walked away,
But missing isn't loving,
So I won't beg you to stay,

....and so you go.

Wow!!! I'm glad I don't need much sleep to survive, otherwise I'd missed your poem.   Are you sure he left you at all, maybe he misunderstood how she could find you, if at all? LP

A man who would walk away from such sincerity and love is indeed a fool!

This is heartwrenching. Welcome to passions.
As sad as this is...I like the attitude. Let him go. I agree. One baby is enough to take care of.

A soft Welcome to Passions.  I hope that, with a new son, you will find time now and again to refresh your soul by reading, and possibly writing, and enjoying what will hopefully become a new family of friends.

Please, check your e-mail for a special message.

Welcome to passions, this is very beautiful and lyrical in its sadness, but it has great strength.  Pull up a chair stay a while and bask in the warmth of new found friends.

Regards and take care,
Olias.
