How Could You Deny...

The day that we first met
Is one I thought I'd never live to regret
I fell for you from the very, very start
You captured my soul and stole my heart
The one thing I asked was for you to be careful
From past pain and heartache I was still trying to heal
You promised never to cause me any pain
That you'd always be there, through the sunshine and rain
I believed you were special, and that you cared
The pain you would cause me, I wasn't prepared
One unexpected visit brought my world to a halt
I listened in disbelief, it was your fault
On my doorstep a young girl stood
Asking to come in, if she please could
I had no idea who this girl was at my door
Never in my life had I seen her before
I asked how she knew me
Who was she here to see?
With tears in her frightened eyes
She said she was tired of all the lies
Said she had something to tell
Looking at the baby in her arms, my heart fell
I let her in and told her to sit down
Trying to disguise my frown
As she looked at me her story fell out
She was so confident, it erased any of my doubts
How she met you over a year ago, one summer night
You charmed her, she fell for you at first sight
Not once did you tell her about me
Not till after she said she was having your baby
Suddenly you told her we were together
And planned on being with me forever
She wasn't here trying to make me go away
Just thought I deserved to know, even if I chose to stay
She wasn't trying to be with you or be your wife
Only wanted you to be part of your child's life
I stared in disbelief at your son with you eyes
Not believing all this time you telling lies
How could you not tell me about your son?
After all this time, he's almost one
It's bad enough you cheated on me
But even worse not telling me you had a baby
Your own flesh and blood, he should be your pride and joy
How could you keep secret such a beautiful baby boy?
I looked at your son, sat back and cried
But not just because to me you had lied
You'd also lured in this young girl, cheated and deceived
She was good enough to mess around with until she conceived
Then suddenly you wanted to be with only me
Telling her by my side is where you wanted to be
You've known about this baby for so long
Kept him a secret, didn't tell me anything about him all along
Now I have no choice, me and you are through
I have to leave you, though it's the last thing I want to do
Just know its not because you were untrue
For that alone I could have forgiven you
And its not because I found out about your son
I probably could've even looked past that one
Don't get me wrong- I was hurt by the fact that you lied
But what gets me the most is that your son you've denied
You've had over a year to confess to me
If you had me and you would still be
I'll always love and care for you
There's only one thing I hope you will do
Take responsibility for what you helped create
Start being part of his life now, before it's too late
