He left 

He left behind his broken wife and his scared son

He left

He left us cold, all alone with no one 

He left

 

The vows, they meant nothing 

The promises, broken 

I just wish we meant something 

More than just empty words spoken 

 

I cried for days at a time 

My young son wiped every tear 

Leaving us was a crime 

And now, it's been 1 year 

 

And I still cry all so often

My son still knows as to why 

He knows that his daddy leaving 

Is what makes his mum cry 

 

We are happy most of the time

Singing and laughing most the day 

But in the moments of silence 

There is still some dismay 

 

It still feels so empty 

With out the man of the house 

We still miss him greatly 

Filled with vulnerability and doubt 

 

Cos every wife needs their husband 

And every son needs their dad 

So we'll forever miss him 

And the lives we once had

 

He still sees him most weekends 

But it's not the same 

The bonds not as strong 

Though the memories remain

 

Now his dad misses out 

From seeing the smiles each day 

Because he's not about 

And he misses him play 

 

I'll always remind him

That his daddy was there

Throughout all the night feeds 

That his daddy did care 

 

But things have all changed now

And it's aching my heart 

I just wish he still loved us

Like he did at the start

 

Our family is broken 

But the love still remains 

And with all the empty words spoken 

I show every day 

 

That I never gave up

And that I never stopped loving

Because my son is my whole world

And he is my blessing 

 

His dad didn't choose us

Like he promised he would 

He didn't love and protect us

Like a real man should

 

So I took it upon myself

And I did the job of two 

With little to no help

Because my love is true 

 

Now after a year of great struggle

The time has now come 

I must let go of the hassle 

Because with heartache I'm done.
