Letting go

This is a response to typingaways "Do you remember me?"

I'm sorry this is the way it is

I didn't want to let you go

But I couldn't hold on

To you anymore

We all have to make desicions

I couldn't have cared for you

My life is too hard as it is

You could have been something

But not with me

And just passing you on

Would have killed me, too

I didn't do this just for him

I did it for me, too

And for you

I'm sorry you'll never be my child,

But it needed to be done

At least you'll never live

The life I lead

It's still not easy

To let go.

Author's Note

I figure that It's a little unfair for it to be only from the baby's point of view, with no consideration of the mothers. No politics, please.
