The Wrong Path Poem by Moore Hope

I love him so much but he does not seem to care
It is not me he wants, it is her he wants to be near

I was once his wife, I gave him his only son
But he left us one cold fall night to pursue the other one.

He gave no second chances to save his family
He said he needed time to think but instead move in did she.
The bed went cold for just one night and then she took my place
I was still playing his silly game by giving him his space

I trusted my dear husband, I trusted him with all my heart
I never could imagine that after seven years he would rip my heart apart.

Why he keeps on following the wrong path I guess I'll never know
Maybe it is the way for the guilt he feels which he refuses to show.

It is hard for me to accept that this woman is trying to take my place
I was pregnant with his second child but death looked in its face.
Maybe it was best for the child that I miscarried that I lost
A father that does not love it, is not worth all the cost.

No remorse did he show while I was all in pain
Instead his mind was all on her, making him insane.
He said I did not need him, that she needed him much more
And with me passing out on the couch he walked out of the door.

I did nothing wrong to him, he was my whole life
But all he ever did was in my back stick a knife

He is so mean when he is with her, and when he's not he's sane
He says that he does not love me and calls me horrible names

A few months ago we were happy we were going to buy a house
Now all the dreams we ever shared have all but been doused

He says he wants to come back home but still needs time to think
But his words and actions always change when the eye does blink.

He does not see we are suffering, he turns his back on us
He thinks only of himself and the woman that he lusts
He said she would be unhappy, that he cannot do her the same
But she knew that he was a married man and still played her evil game

How did he think we felt, we were the ones who were left
He walked out of that door twice leaving us upset

Sure he came back to visit us and spend a little time
With the little boy he left behind, the son that is his and mine.

I don't know if the man I loved will ever come back home
For now it is just my son and I and we are all alone.
