Love Poem: Leaving You

Leaving You

I hate leaving you in that god awful place.
It breaks my heart, that sad expression upon your face.

A visit of only once a month is not enough
I never want to leave it is so tough.

I hope you know this was never my choice,
For my opinion was never allowed a voice.

Four years of us being apart.
It constantly breaks my heart.

You are my son and I love you dearly.
If I had known, another choice I would have made, clearly.

Forgive me my son,
For I know the battle was not won.

But one day soon you will be free.
One day soon you will be back with me.
