Baby

I wanted it

but yet i didn't

i told you we needed to use one

but you said it'd be fine

when you found out

you left

you wouldn't come back

wouldn't send money

i got a court order

ain't doing this on my own

and yet i am

on my own i mean

when i had it

it was beautiful

had all my features

but none of yours

would grow up without a daddy

in this cruel world

this beautiful, yet ugly world

you should have been there for it

your daddy wasn't for you

you know what that felt like

but still you left

but here i am

this most wondrous

moment int he world

with my baby girl

and it

was

never

hopeless.
