Not Part of the Plan

They're about to go in, and just about ready to commit and underage sin.  
He tells her he loves her as the lights go dim, and that if she does too, she must 
prove it to him.
They're done; they have lost their innocence. She went in a girl came out a 
woman, he went in a boy came out a man. 
Now 4 weeks later, she finds out something that wasn’t part of the plan.
Where is he? He is nowhere to be found, he has abandoned her and now she is 
sad. As he has ran from the responsibility of being a dad.
She is with child, but without a man, all for doing something not part of the plan.
She gets kicked out of her home, she is all alone. She cries day and night 
staying at a family home.
How can just one unforgettable night, become such a sin? For, she did really 
truly love him.
She says this baby is to blame; he never would have left her if she’d just stay the 
same.
So that cold, dark night, knife in hand she had ended her baby’s life without a 
demand.
Then she ended her life for foolishly falling for a man who was not ready to be 
part of a plan.
