Tears roll down her cheeks
Like an unsuccessful mother
Whose son failed to succeed.
The efforts she gave
Just to see him be someone one day,
Soon made her realize it was useless
She wanted the best for him
But it was all pointless.
He didn't care.
In his eyes
He saw an angel
Who cried every night
For his sake
He knew he was doing wrong
He knew he was making a mistake
But he didn't realize
That by not caring about himself
He was hurting her.
He was simply too depressed
His life was a blur.
But lightning struck
And she realized what she had to do
She knew that leaving him alone
Hed see things clear too.
So she left one night
Without a note, without a goodbye
She left him sound asleep
With a little kiss on his cheek
In despair and confusion
He went everywhere trying to find her
Without a clue of where she could be
He gave up at the end of the day.
***
A year later
He received a call.
It was her.
He was speechless
They were both
Clogged up with tears
He didn't know what to tell her
He had so many things to say
Even though it had only been a year.
But she knew him very well
She explained why she decided to bail
He was upset, but realized it was his fault
He never had given
A true reason
For her to stay,
In the end, he explained
How drastically he had changed;
How much he had improved.
Gently she interrupted him
And said:
"Hunny, I'm so proud of you
I knew that I had to leave for you to see
That you could do it on your own,
I'm so proud of you..
As always.
You always make me proud
I love you
She hung up.
Without saying another word
Without a moments hesitation
She shattered into tears
She knew it was the end.
She knew her job was done.
She knew what shed have to sacrifice.
Him.
