before he left
i promised him
i'd be there when he returned
So i waited at the gate
for him
holding my breathe
afraid of what he would say to me
five months pregnant
with another mans child
and he doesnt know
I watch him make his way down the hall
looking tall and proud in his uniform
i watch his eyes looking for me
i watch his eyes as he finds me
First the shock
then surprise
now the anger, is in his eyes
im ashamed
because i couldnt tell him
and i still dont know what to say
he walks up to me
and just looks at my stomach
"well, when were you going to tell me?"
i just close my eyes
and take a deep breathe
as the tears fall from my eyes
im sorry i say
but were no longer together
and i see the sun an moon in his eyes
i give him a hug
then walk away
i cant turn around
because im afraid
im afraid ill see him cry
and that will kill me inside. |
Submission Name: im ashamed
