Forgive Me

by Bettye   Dec 9, 2005


God, please forgive me for what I am about to do
Baby, please know that I do love you
I hope to see one day, how much you have grown
Thank you for the motherly bliss that for the past 6 weeks you have shown
I'm doing this for me, your dad and you
I'm all alone now, and I have no idea what I am supposed to do
Everything your daddy said turned out to be lies
I'm sorry you got caught in the middle and I was too late to realize
Your daddy didn't believe me when I said I was pregnant with you
So I drove up 100 miles, bought a pregnancy test with two
Both of then popped positive, as I stood in the the bathroom at Target
I drove to the gas station near your daddy's house and gave him a call
He ignored it, wanting nothing to do with us, nothing at allI called him again, and said he could leave unlock his door to his car
I'm sorry baby, it should not have been carried this far
I returned your daddy's belongings, left the test and a goodbye letter
I was hoping to god, it would atleast make me feel somewhat better
All I wanted was for someone to hold my hand
To look me into my eyes and tell me that they understand
Without your dad, I couldn't do it on my own
He wants nothing to do with us, and ignores my calls to his phone
He left me, I have no choice but to get rid of you
Know that I'm doing this because I love you
I sit here and think about the future you could have had
I know that life would be hard
For the both of us without your dad
I would never be able to look at you directly in your eyes
You would remind me of the man who I fell in love with, a man who told me lies
Please know baby, after what I have to do
I will never forgive myself for what I did to you
