Children do suffer

My heart is crying for I loved you so
You turn your back,
I watch you go.

Off to work,
or on a date,
I don't know,
You return late.

I call your name,
You're never there,
This love hurts,
This love is unfair.

I take care of the children,
Take care of all your needs,
My heart is crying because of all your deeds.

This house we share,
Yet I am all alone,
You may be here,
But you're never home.

The tears they cry
I try to explain,
but they cry hard
as they call your name.

Where is Daddy?
Why is he never here?
I listen sadly
as I catch a tear.

He does not love us,
Mommy make him please,
As I run to my room
and fall to my knees.

Their tears of pain
crush me from deep within,
What do I say?
Where do I begin?

I plead with my heart
for a brand new start,
But that only seems to push us
farther apart.

My heart is crying,
The tears cannot dry,
No matter what I do
or how hard I try.

Walk out the door
Please don't come back,
Love for your family
is what you lack.

Just go away
Please! I beg of thee,
This pain I can't handle,
don't you see.

Their little hearts
need time to mend,
from all the negative
messages you send.

You cause me pain,
do with me as you will,
But spare the children,
Their futures you will Kill.

My heart is crying,
Not just for me,
My heart is crying
for my family.
