The Ultimate Price
At seventeen I had to leave
although you didn't know.
You were so young,thought
I just wanted to hit the road .
I wasn't allowed to be near ,
or even watch you grow .
It hurt my heart how I
missed out on , so much
was just not told .
At nineteen , and in trouble,
I just had to grow up.
It was supose to be a lifetime to
never be seen again,as hurt as
I was to stay away,I wanted you
in my life , Now because of it
I'm paying the Ultimate Price .
You have no desire to know me ,
Who I am now , because of the
past mistakes I chose ,I lose out .
Just know I'm proud of who
you have become even though I
lose out and paid the Ultimate Price.
