I'm getting so tired,
Of this teenage drama,
I though we outgrew this.
But obviously,
Not.
And it's driving me crazy.
Because I don't want to hear this.
Other people's flaws,
Are none of my concern.
And yet, I hang on to every word,
Because it seems as if I don't,
I won't survive.
Because Jimmy keeps talking
About the girl.
And I keep thinking about my boy,
That I miss him dearly.
Does he still have his daddy's black hair?
My blue eyes?
Does his mother look at him in dispise?
Does she hate him?
Because she lied?
Told me she was safe,
Couldn't get pregnant.
But I should have known.
9 months later,
Comes my son.
And there is no way in hell,
Anyone could love him more than me.
But it didn't last long,
She didn't even ask.
She stole you from me,
And put you up for adoption.
But my little Alex,
Daddy's coming for you.
I don't want you to grow up,
With someone I don't know.
Just 9 more weeks,
I'll be done with college.
We can start a life,
With someone like me.
I'll keep you safe.
And when you get older,
If you want to know your mother,
I'll tell you about her.
About how she smiled, when I cracked a joke.
When she got mad, when I left the seat up.
How she screamed at me, when I wouldn't have sex.
How she sat on my chest, until I did.
And it made my heart break,
Because I knew I was just a tool.
But I wanted to take care of her.
Even if, she used me for sex.
I was okay, my baby boy.
I'll get you back soon.
Author notes
This is about my son. He's my everything. I don't get to be in his life as much as I wish I could. But soon, very soon. I'll be the dad he deserves.

This is really touching.
It's beautiful to see that no matter the sins of the parents, the children remain innocent (that wasn't meant to come out as religious as it sounded
).
I'm getting sidetracked. All I meant to say was that it's wonderful to see such love. I hope you get your baby boy back soon

There is no stronger bond than that between parent and child,no greater joy,and no greater sadness than to see your heart walking around outside of your body.I wish you both all the best in the future years.I enjoyed the write and love the fact that you love and long for your son.
