Secrets (I want to understand)

A poem About finding out your girlfriend is pregnant

Secrets, (I want to Understand)

Why do you keep these secrets 

I want to understand

only wanting to be there

I want to hold your hand

if what your sharing is the truth

I won’t just walk away 

I will raise it as my own 

There is nothing else to say

I don’t mind that it’s not mine

but why try to push me back

being hurtful like in your eyes

there’s emotion I lack

do you think I care

what happened before we met

I just want to be there for you

losing me you would regret

I will be there every moment

every scan you attend

I will make sure you never struggle

all my money I will send

look at me please don’t be sad

because at the end of this

We will be together and I will be a dad

But if that’s not what you want 

and you push me away

I hope you don’t blame anyone

when you struggle day by day

Author's Note

Sometimes people protect the ones they love by holding secrets they fear will end their love well there are good people out there

Please be honest with your reviews as always

Aww I love this... It shows how caring, understanding you are and you just simply want to be there, no matter what the situation let be... I understand how that young girl felt as well, it's hard when you love someone and the baby might not be there's, your automatic reaction is to push them away and blind themselves from everything...
it's true there are good people out there, at one point I thought they never existed, I guess... I was wrong about that...
Another amazingly written poem!!

This was so beautiful. Not everyone feels this way. Many would shy away from this type of situation instantly without thinking. It was touching and refreshing to read this. It was perfect.

secrets can build and destroy - fickle things - some necessary, some destructive - depends on the motive behind them perhaps - a well written piece here, nice subtle rhyme here and there! I liked! (just change the "your" to "you're" in the 5th line and finished!)

You captured the reaction of a real good man, wish they still exist!
I do agree some people hold the secrets, but most of the time that blow up in their faces and cause more harm than just admitting the truth, opening up is the best thing to do, honesty is the best thing, very nicely written on an important subject.
