To my husband

To my husband 
That choose to never be there
That choose everywhere but here.
In the physical and emotional 
Always choose to disappear 
From the end to the beginning 
Was never self aware
His actions spoke the loudest
His words was never spoken
From here all trust with in was broken
Barriers are built with every broken promise that was made
Soon the love that once was there
Feels as if it fades
He points his finger
And passes the blame
Never looking at his own actions
Never feeling a grain of the pain
Never truly looking in his own reflection
Just always projecting 
To the father of my children
Who choose to never be here
Who choose everywhere but here
In the physical and emotional 
The damage done is already there
Year after year turns to resentment 
Beyond repair
One thing leads to another
But they just wanted you there
Again you choose everywhere but there 
Two boys one father that choose to disappear 
Blaming others for his action
Not seeing the truth that was there
Now one family lost in despair 
Left wondering if he would ever choose to be here
