When Do We

I can't help but to ask myself, How does one human destroy another?

                                   Without remorse or pity towards another life.

 

                                   When in our life do we become savages to one another?

                                   Killing dreams, Souls, and happiness without using even a knife.

 

                                   When we are children mothers teach us manners and kindness

                                   At what point do we decide to hurt another human being?

 

                                   When do we get so bored with our life that we decide to rob

                                   someone of happiness, without them seeing?

 

                                   I myself cant answer these questions because you never told me

                                   why you did what you did when i gave you everything.

 

                                   I gave you the courage to move ahead become someone better

                                   even give you the child you wanted, for you i did anything.

 

                                   Only to be left alone killing my dreams of a family that was happy

                                   a family with you, 2 souls made whole.

 

                       When did i become not enough for you? when did you become too good?

                        why not tell me you would just leave me to die in this hole.

 

                                   This darkness has left me blind, I no longer see you around me

                                   I have lost all senses, I have lost all hope for you.

 

                                   The only thing i do know is that my daughter will never in her life

                                    know much less feel the pain i felt when i loved you.
