Dear Depressed Girlfriend

Dear depressed girlfriend 
Although your situation sounds tragic 
You feel betrayed and abandoned 
Confused by your agony

But I believe your dilemma 
Runs a lot deeper
Your boyfriend is not the problem
Your blindness is the true culprit

Hopeless romantics like you and me 
Can often find the truth hard to see 
Cloaked by the slim possibility 
That this one will be the real deal 

My advice to you my friend is to 
Treasure your adorable children 
For all they need is you 
Get rid of the one, who takes advantage
And wait for the one who relishes who you are
