Just Left Behind
Not asking to be born
Decisions from choices you made
Ready or not these dues must be paid
Played a game far too young
To realize or fathom at that age
Mere Minutes of thinking
Become a lifetime of consequences
….Abandoned…..….Just left behind…….The sorrow……… Disregarded…..
If regrets were going to be made
Thoughts of other options should have been considered
Said you could never see yourself get rid of me
Yet I am just left behind
Blind to not have picked up on your distance
Surprised because our timeline revealed the signs
Reasons are irrelevant
….Deserted…..….Just left behind…….The pain……… Overlooked…..
Spoke how two wrongs never make it right
You should practice what you preach
Periods I needed you the most but only found emptiness
Guidance through the hardships of life
I wish you would have had my back
Selfishly you disappear on me
Something that I would never do to my seed
….Discarded…..….Just left behind…….The torment……… Neglected…..
Lost so much time, Reconciliation impossible
Too many unanswered questions and reasons misunderstood
Dilapidation caused by the homes that you came from
Foundations broken and damaged even back then
How could your lives have been more important than mine
Would give up my own life before abandoning my child
This heartless cycle ends with me
….Forsaken…..….Just left behind…….The anguish……… Forgotten…..
