For My Children
FOR MY CHILDREN
I wept today
For I changed everything
My heart tore
Be it as it may
No faerie tale
No happy ending
I wept today
For, I realised the true cost
How I changed everything
All that I lost
I couldn’t see it your way
I wept today
For, I cannot take it back
For my children
I agonized about it all
What can they say?
I wept today
That once, what it was
Is unrecoverable
Forever lost
I wept today
For I changed everything
In one morning
For my children
Who lost it all
In one day
