Leaving You
I hate leaving you in that god awful place.
It breaks my heart, that sad expression upon your face.
A visit of only once a month is not enough
I never want to leave it is so tough.
I hope you know this was never my choice,
For my opinion was never allowed a voice.
Four years of us being apart.
It constantly breaks my heart.
You are my son and I love you dearly.
If I had known, another choice I would have made, clearly.
Forgive me my son,
For I know the battle was not won.
But one day soon you will be free.
One day soon you will be back with me.
