Tough Love

Today my son broke my heart, those hateful words, touched every part. His life in turmoil, for his actions done, I guess he just had to blame someone. A son with only a mother, is very hard, trying to guide him, I failed from the start. A man in a way, and a child in the other, I only know how to be his mother. Regret I feel for asking him to leave, but now it's time to worry about me. Out all night, he never calls, I stay up late, climbing the walls. Dreading to hear, a knock at the door, way past midnight, i'm walking the floor. Tough love is something, I didn't want to do, but the time has come, and this I had to do. Good luck my son, now you must go, this does not mean, I don't love you. You are a man, so stand on your on, make a good life, make you a home.
