Love isn’t forever

I heard our babies cry

And I knew you did too

As you stormed out of our lives!

You got angry at me . . .

When I told you I’ve had enough

Of all the lies you’ve been giving me

Every night!

When you would return late or sometimes not at all!

I knew the day would come

When you would stop loving me

I wasn’t surprised

But why did you have to go and cheat on me too?

When I demanded to know whom, she was?

You threw me at the wall

Yelling at me . . .

That what you do

Wasn’t of my business?!

I told you it was

I told you all I wanted to know

Who the women

Who replaced me was?

What made you do this to me?

What made you want to hurt me so?

Was she more beautiful?

Did she say she loved you more?

Or was it she could give you what I could?

And if so what was it?

You continued to shout at me

And didn’t even consider stopping

When you woke up the baby!

I pleaded with you to stop

Telling you that you were scarring our son

But you would listen

Your anger had consumed you

And to my horror

You had, had enough of the crying

So you stormed off to the nursery

Fearing what you would do to our child

I stumbled after you

Grabbing you before you reached the door

I begged for you to not hurt him

But to take your anger out on me instead

You laughed at my pleas

Roughly you slapped me across the face

Scowling at my tears that flowed down from my eyes

But I didn’t care of my pain

As long as our son was safe!

Grabbing me

You dragged me to the living room

Throwing me to the floor

And started kicking me in the sides

Until you were satisfied

When you were

You grabbed your coat

And stormed from the house

Leaving me all alone

When I was sure that you were gone

I staggered to my feet

And headed toward the nursery

T walked over to the crib

That held my three-month-old son

Gently I picked him up in my arms

And rocked him back and forth

I smiled as he stopped his crying

And looked up at me with such innocence

I saw it now

It didn’t matter that you left me now

For I have my son, no longer ours or your’s

I know I’ll find another man who will love both

Me and him

But I’ll never forget that

One thing is for sure

Love isn’t forever
