Abandoned

Do the thoughts
of how you've wronged me
ever cross your mind?


Do you ever wonder
what you've left behind.



Without hesitation
you said you had to go.


While standing
there beside me
I didn't even know.



You didn't want a family
and never said why.


I thought that
you would miss me
but that was just a lie.



I stayed awake
waiting by the phone.


It never rang
not even once
so I sat in the quiet alone.



Twelve long years
have passed me bye,
Missing you less each day.


Now I know you had to go
You can't love anyway."
