Choices
How do you do it?
Pick yourself up and remain strong
After losing someone you thought
You would have forever?
Someone whose love was never supposed to end
But only get better
It’s a hurtful time
A pain I can’t describe
You were supposed to be the ONE person
To always be there for me
Yes, you’ve shown me over the years
You couldn’t be trusted to protect me from my worst fears
I closed my eyes, to be blind to those facts
What was in my heart kept me holding on,
Thinking you would get your mind right and get back on track
It was just a fantasy
An illusion I created to escape the cruel reality
I’ve done all I could
Forgiven as much as I can
I see now, there’s no competing with that man
You made your choice
I’m nothing to you
My eyes are open now
There’s no more hiding from the truth
There are so many things I want to say
So many questions I want to ask
But the one that keeps wracking my brain is:
How could a mother’s love not last?
