In shadows cast by love's cruel hand,  

I pen these lines, a heart unmanned.  

'Twas not my choice to take my leave,  

But circumstances made me grieve.  

Your mother, fierce, with tempest's might,  

Did bid me go, extinguished light.  

In passion's throes, we once entwined,  

Yet fate, it seems, was unkind.  

A tapestry of dreams once spun,  

Now frayed and torn, our battles won.  

The echoes of our laughter fade,  

Replaced by silence, love betrayed.  

In tender moments, joy did bloom,  

Yet shadows loomed, a gathering gloom.  

The trials of love, a bitter brew,  

In every glance, a tale anew.  

The child we dreamed, a beacon bright,  

Now caught in storms of endless night.  

A tug-of-war, a bitter strife,  

Two hearts divided, a fractured life.  

Your mother’s heart, a fortress strong,  

Yet in her strength, I felt the wrong.  

For love, it seems, can twist and turn,  

And in its wake, we live and learn.  

The whispers of the past still haunt,  

In every corner, memories taunt.  

Yet through the chaos, I stand tall,  

For you, dear son, I give my all.  

In courtrooms cold, where battles rage,  

We navigate this daunting stage.  

With every word, a dagger thrown,  

Yet in this strife, I stand alone.  

The love we shared, a fleeting spark,  

Now lost amidst the endless dark.  

Yet in my heart, a flame remains,  

A bond unbroken, despite the pains.  

For you, my son, I strive each day,  

To shield you from this disarray.  

Though tides may turn and tempests roar,  

My love for you will ever soar.  

In moments stolen, I find my peace,  

A fleeting smile, a sweet release.  

Though battles rage and tempers flare,  

In your bright eyes, I find my prayer.  

The world may judge, and tongues may wag,  

Yet in my heart, I bear no rag.  

For love transcends the trials we face,  

In every tear, a trace of grace.  

So know, dear son, though paths diverge,  

In every storm, my love will surge.  

For though your mother pushed me away,  

My heart remains, come what may.  

In time, you’ll see the truth unfold,  

A story rich, a tale retold.  

Of love and loss, of joy and pain,  

In every drop, a lesson gained.  

So take these words, a father’s plea,  

To understand the man in me.  

For though the road is fraught with strife,  

I cherish you, my guiding light.  

In every heartbeat, in every sigh,  

A promise made, I will not lie.  

Through trials faced and battles fought,  

My love for you cannot be bought.  

So as you grow, remember this,  

In every storm, there lies a bliss.  

For though the world may seem unkind,  

In love’s embrace, true strength you’ll find.  

And when the shadows start to creep,  

Know in my heart, your love I keep.  

For though your mother pushed me away,  

In spirit, son, I’m here to stay.  

Embrace the journey, rise above,  

For life is woven with threads of love.  

In every challenge, find your way,  

And know I’m with you, come what may.  

So here I stand, a father true,  

With every breath, I cherish you.  

In this tumultuous dance we share,  

My love, dear son, is always there.
