High Hopes Poem by Trevor McLeod

I had the highest hopes
for you and I
I kept moving towards you
I may have stumbled alot
but I never took my eyes off you
no matter how dark it got
or how slippery the slop
I stayed loyal and stubbornly true to you
and yet I never saw this coming
because of one of my stumbles I have a child on the way
he wasn't planned or expected
but he is my son none the less

but now you you blind me with the truth
of how much you love me
when you said you wanted
another mans seed
to grow your own child
to live with that stranger
so you could have the child you so desperately wanted
and you claim to love me to have faith in me and to be true to me
I gave you my all I gave you everything I had
I have nothing left
and you lash at me because of what you said hurt me
you say you dind't meant it you just wanted to wake me up
you threaten me
you abuse me
you stomp my heart flat
and yet I still love you
