One Nightstand

One nightstand
He wasn't your man
Now you hold his daughter 
In your lonesome hands 
Embarrassed
So you kept it all to yourself
Raising the baby without the father no help
When she asks about daddy
What do you say?
I didn't know your father that well
It was just one night and pleasure filled
Between the alcohol sex, you did not catch any disease
You're lucky
You want to approach him
But He has moved on with his life
The costly price you pay for one night
Not much thinking
With sex and drinking
Next time you decide to drink heavily
For a one night, infidelity 
Think about your baby
Who is left alone to raise thee

Oh, my, this is a poem that speaks volumes. And the baby is often the ones who raises the parent for sure.
