Internal Bleeding

This is the monologue/poem that started my interest in writing. This is about a woman who leaves her child with his father, because she believes that it's the best thing for him.

Jason

Was my life

You knew that.

You know

That he meant as much to you

As he did

To me.

My son,

Our son,

Has filled our lives like no other.

And without him,

I would have given up on you

Sooner than you

Gave up

On me.

And even after

That wretched day,

The day

You tore him from me,

He still loved it here.

He didn't remember the days

That we screamed

Fought

And yelled,

In this very room.

I used to live here,

Remember?

Don't you remember 

The days where we loved each other,

The day where nothing could tear us apart?

But I've come back,

And this time,

I'm not half of a whole.

I came to take Jason back.

To take him home.

But I've realized,

He is home.

And he should stay.

...

Can I talk to him?

I want to say goodbye.

Author's Note

This is my first, made a year ago, so I may have improved since then, but i would still love feedback.

Liked it. I believe the mother left her son with his father because possibly she believes she is unfit maybe because a possible drug problem or even because the father telling her shes not good enough to raise a child through verbal abuse. The reason is anyone's guess. Nice story, I usually don't read poems, but I enjoyed yours.
