Child Support

I am hurting can't you see? 

How could you walk out on the children and me? 

It was you who I gave all of my love, support and trust. 

Now I am left here alone doing a job that was meant to be done by the both of us. 

You promised you for us would be here. 

I never thought you would walk out on me. 

It feel like I have never known the one I believed in so much would walk out and leave his family. 

How selfish you really are with no dignity at all;  showing everyone who know us that you could really care less about our emotional scars. 

You walk and drive around taken advantaged of how blessed you are with being capable. 

The last thing on your mind is having the thought of whether your children will wake up to breakfast on the table. 

I don't know how; but I know I will make it. 

I'll keep pushing forward doing the best I can in moving on.
