You felt our daughter kick and move.
A beautiful new life the heartbeat did prove.
You mumbled something like I love you, and held us dear.
And then you left.
And your excuse was "fear"?

Don't you know there is no fear in love.
If there were, we'd all push, we would shove...
....to get away.

You just dropped the ball,
That's what you did.
You ran like a coward,
You ran and hid.

Now you call what you're doing, "living"?
Well, you can't really live without giving.
You've created your hole, can you fill the void?
The child you left you would've infinitely enjoyed.

With all your mindless activity, you just couldn't believe,
The beautiful child we were blessed to conceive.
Now that lovely child is out of your reach,
And we hope you are burning on some far away beach.
