The Tears I Cried For You

The tears I cried for you when the judge took us away all though I knew it was for 
the better. I hated knowing that I would not see you any more. You and I were not 
so close but I would have rather  been with you then go into the system. Instead 
here I sit alone trying to figure out why the court took us from you. Moma I know 
that you tried your hardest to get us back yet the judge still said that you did not 
deserve to have rights back. I now know how you feel when you loose the kid(s) 
that you so dearly love to the state. The tears I cried for you to get us back were 
endless. I still ask myself why this all happened the way that it did. The tears I 
cried for you were real and even though I didn't know what to think of you at one 
time, I see that you tried your hardest. Visits came and went they were hard to 
come and go from. I hated when it came time to leave for I knew it would be yet 
another week until I seen you again. The tears I cried for you were strong yet now 
that I have gotten older and it has been almost three years they really don't come 
any more. I use to sneak around and talk to you now I don't even know if I wanna 
hear from you. I hear that you have gone south from how you use to be and that 
scares me. For the tears that I cried for you I no longer do.
