A Poem For My Kids

I don't know why I do
All the things it is been said I do to all of you
The pain and the suffering he and I put you through
I constantly feel all that to
I want so badly to make it all go away
And there's no amount of words that can say
How sorry I am for you all having to deal with all this every single day
I'm to am feeling torn, broken, and confused
Some people like him leave me to be here left feeling used
They do things to try to make me feel guilty then tell me I'm this or that when I know I'm not
I do try to help out with all I got
But when I don't have what they want when it's needed
Things between he and I tend to get ugly and very heated
Then you all get put right there in it all
Because of how he feels it's me he will not let you call
They are doing things in their mind with the best of intentions
They believe I'm the enemy so to the bad person getting to you he takes his prevention and 
protection
They think they are being the one who is ten feet tall 
But I'm not the one who is going to fall
They may soon find themselves looking up from down on their knees
Realizing the truth when it has been said to everyone one cannot please
So no matter what he may do or say
I hope you really understand why I couldn't stay
But just cause I had to leave and you wanted to be with him doesn't mean I don't miss each 
of you in every way
And I love you all so much more and more with each and every passing day
These feelings are ones that will never ever stray

Love always and forever
