I wish I could’ve given you the fairy tale life and kept my marriage intact But I realized I didn’t want to normalize constantly needing to put on an act I had a smile on my face while I was dying inside All I ever wanted to do was run and hide The pain of staying became too much to bear I needed an escape from the whirlwind of despair I showed you my strength by walking away To reclaim my happiness I knew I couldn’t stay One day you’ll know the scarifies I made to protect you You’ll hear the lies that were told that were completely untrue But most of all, you’ll know my heart has always been pure Despite the nightmare I had to endure I vow to teach you everything you’ll ever need to know I’ll always be by your side watching you grow and grow I promise to show you the meaning of unconditional love I’ll be there for you every step of the way, come push or shove I will show you how to treat a woman with the utmost respect Teach you to hold yourself accountable and not deflect I’m rewriting our story and it’s filled with love It’s about a mother and son connected by an unbreakable bond blessed from above
