Your child's mother

You claim to love me so much
You call my name at these desperate hours
But I don't reside with you anymore
& my desire to has scattered
When I would be next to you
You had your phone in hand 
Or typing away on your laptop
God knows it drove me insane 
I'm not a clingy person, 
Some say I'm too independent
But at night I want to connect with the man to whom my heart has been given
If I chose you it's because I trusted you
With hopeful faith that you'd love me the same way
And when you turned a cold shoulder
I cried, God knows I cry sometimes to this day
Who could abandon their child's mother?
Leave her to raise him alone? 
Who could feel okay with knowing that she needed him but he preferred to be gone
I didn't bring my sweet child here 
To this earth to be abandoned
Maybe he wasn't planned but I've loved him since I knew of his existence
I pleaded to you and now you plead to me
You're begging now, it makes no difference
You see I've learned to drive my own chariot
Found a new shell to cover my soft interior 
Singing a new song to another man
Who encourages me to blossom like a rose flower 
You could have kept me
But your heart was somewhere else
So don't judge me for how I choose to mend what you were so persistent to break
