A Scar From a Lost Cause

Two years has gone by 
Had our son and tried to move on.
My heart just couldn’t let go.
Everybody around me 
told me to write you off. 
That since you did not see our son.
You did not deserve the love I had to offer.
You did not deserve to be in his life.
But two years I tried to message and call. 
But all your new girlfriends
 tried to make me feel less then what I am
Some were considered friends and they said some pretty terrible stuff
But I never gave up and when it finally all paid off I felt as if a weight had been lift 
only to replace by 
the emotional fear and baggage of the past 
Now I am starting to find it easy to walk away and not care. 
But I guess that’s what happens
 when you cry so many tears for two years.
You realize when you finally have your lover back
It was probably best to just let you go.
