Baby Daddy

I fell in love with the man who fathered my first child. The one who is my baby 
daddy. He promised me that he would never hurt me but in the end that was one 
big lie. My baby daddy hurt me in many ways. The man told me that he loved me 
and cared about me. Well all of that was a lie. My baby daddy was a 21  yr old 
who was married and had 2 other kids. Worse of all he forced me to sell my body 
at the age of 15. I was a run away at the time but quickly turned myself in for I 
could not allow myself that pain. I spent 2 weeks in Juvie in the Bronx, but as I sat 
there I could not get him outta my mind. It was as if he was sewn in there and I 
could not remove him. I called him a month after I found out I was pregnant and 
of course he didnt believe me. I didnt understand what I had did wrong, I mean 
here was the man who told me he loved me yet didnt believe what I told him. I 
knew I was not supposed to have contact with him because I was 15 and he was 
21 but I did any ways. I thought that having his child would change his mind and 
make him want me. I lost contact with him for 3 months and during that time I 
was still very obsessed over him. When he called again we stayed in contact, his 
daughter was born and although he could not be there he said that he wished he 
could have. My baby daddy promised me that if for any reason I ever lost our 
daughter to the state he would claim her. The state took our daughter and of 
course he didnt step up. I fell in love with my baby daddy and fell back outta love 
with him.
