You used to hold me in your arms; with you I felt safe

Before a man’s whispers of lies slowly ripped you away

I used to look in your eyes and admire its spark

But with time it diminished to coldness and dark

He laid down the traps and you fell right into them

But even then, I never thought that over us you would choose him

Our happiness and good times, I watched disappear

As he swallowed you whole leaving us in despair

Slowly I watched in horror as your love for us declined

Each day your footprints leading farther from mine

Following a man who promised you passion and lust

You just left us behind, wasn’t our love enough?

Now years have gone by without me hearing your voice

I guess you’re happier now, no regrets of your choice

Well since you’ve betrayed me, life has been rough

I sit wondering why I just wasn’t enough.

I want to say I’ve moved on and forgot about you

But to say so would simply be very untrue

I often wonder how life would be if you chose us instead

For hours on end, I imagine it all in my head.

That empty chair would be filled with the mom I once knew

Smiling at me like you once used to do.

Hopefully one day I’ll heal from the damage you’ve caused

And move on with my life, and not wait for you call

But until then I’ll try to simply be content

With the fact you may never be mommy again
