Your Son Cain Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

I swore to always do right by you
I swore to always be honest with you
But that night I was stuck in the corner
Either way I would have lost the battle

My reaction would have yielded the same results
So I chose to protect your relationship with your son instead
I packed my bags and Ieft
Leaving you in tears and your boy in bliss

Of course I contemplated on telling you the truth
But would you have bought that Cain was lying
It would have been easier to believe I cheated either way

For weeks I watched as flew
And each time my anger grew
How dare he?
And yet I let you be

I'm glad Cain finally confessed
And thank you for coming all the way here to apologize on his behalf
And yes honey I would love to be with you once again
And to love your son as my own
