I've broken him
this little man of mine
with my selfish, childish ways
unaware of the damage I'd done
until it shone like a beacon
through one of my darkest nights.
I wish to change the past
knowing that it cannot be done
yet the future stretches before me
for all the world to see
I cannot take back yesteryear
or give him back those hours
but I can give him all my heart
from now until my dying days.
If they would just trust in me
though I know that is hard to do
I could prove myself to them and him
that I have changed and so has my life
I walk around each day with this hole
inside of the pit of my heart and stomache
knowing that the only thing to fill it
is the little boy I wish I hadn't broken.

enlivening
If wishes were money, we'd all be rich. I hope you can gain back what was lost and I'll look forward to hearing how your little man is coming along in loving you again. Good luck hun, well written work helps cleanse the soul so keep up the good work.
