Evanesce

She saved you.
She saved you from everything.
Your mother,
drugs,
homelessness,
And
from being alone.

She picked you off the streets,
When no one would even turn to face you.

She gave you a safe place to live,
In return for your love.

She loved you with everything she had,
Believing that you were truly worth all of her sacrifices.

Although you were just teens,
She saw something in you.

She thought you were the one.

Sure,
You protected her from her ex.

You gave her someone to trust,
Love, and care about.

You comforted her better than the drugs.

Fuck,
I still believe that she loves you.

I remember her telling me that you were excited about being a father.

I remember seeing the photos of you holding me.

I remember you crying.

I remember the smile.

But,
I remember you leaving.

I remember seeing you walk out of my life.

With your stuff packed,
You kissed my forehead and hugged me.

You evanesced from my vision.

I didn't know when I would see you again.

6 years later,
I'm 10 years old.

You decide to show up,
Asking for my forgiveness.

I never answered.

For a reason.

She did everything for you.

And you just decide to leave our lives without looking back.

And 6 years later,
You expect me to forgive you?

To forgive you for making me grow up without a father?

To forgive you for not being there to comfort me?

To forgive you for leaving my mother with nothing left but her daughter?

I love you. I really do.

But you fucked up.

You're in my life now,
I barely see you.

You've got a new girlfriend.
New kids.
You say I haven't been replaced.
I know it's a lie.

It's okay to say that you moved on.

I'm not going to forgive you, anyways.

Hell,
I'm 13 and I treat my girlfriend better than you've ever treated any of yours combined.

I would never do what you did to her.

I'm still here.

And I plan on proving that I'm better than you'll ever be.
