The Ex is out there
Living his life,
Being himself,
And caring just for himself.
The Ex is a father.
He is an absent father.
A father who does not exist…
In his children’s life.
The Ex used to be a husband.
He was a good husband…
When he was there.
He was a caring husband…
When he did care.
He was a loving husband…
When he did Love!
The Ex was a father…to our two children.
He was a good father…
When he was there.
He was a caring father…
When he did want to be one.
He was a loving father…
When he was close to them.
The Ex was a young man once.
He was a strong young man.
He was a caring young man.
He was a young man, who…
Had dreams and goals!
The Ex was a child once.
He was a child, who…
Wanted to be cared for.
He was a child, who…
Wanted to be loved!
He was a child, who…
Believed (once!) he was special!
The Ex is still…and always will be…the father to my children.
