False Promises

Im sorry for not telling you before but I’m married
Yes, I understand if you don’t want to be with me
I know but I really loved you yes I did you know this

No, I cannot promise to divorce my wife of ten years. 
But I do love you its just that my children wouldn't understand
I’ll take care of you and pay for you to have your child
Oh forgive me what I meant to say was our child

No, you can’t abort your child I said I would take care of you
I don’t know when we can be together again
Please don’t call me at home I will call you when I return
You can stay at the apartment for as long as you want

I can’t tell you where I’m going with my family yet
But in a couple of weeks I will call and tell you where to come
Trust me, I do love you and we will be together soon
Goodby, don’t worry about anything I will take care of you

There is now a crying single 
                     women with a child and no
Place to go and hospital bills to pay.
