Where were you when your little girl was crying?
Where were you when her momma was dying,
Doping herself up on drugs just to forget the world,
That you left behind.
She was trusting unguarded, only 4 years old
When you first left her with that bruise on her cheek and one on her heart.
Oh I just blanked out, had too many
You say
Mama is uncertain but, he pays the bills,
Her baby girl is too trusting not knowing of the truth
His lies cutting through her fragile shell
Making a mess of emotion
Of what if’s and Is it me’s?

Great write but tragic. It is a scene we all hate to see yet is is woven into our society like a blanket of despair. Thanks for your share.
This is such a tragic (saw that word just used but so fitting) write. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope in writing this it helps others. Thanks for sharing.
Strong and true writing, but so sad. Abandoning a child is just about the worst thing a parent can do.
Children get the shortend of the stick in war of the roses
