I'm sorry

 Looking at the pictures of you and the kids

Brings back memories good and bad

You and the kids left

I can't blame you

I know I was a neglectful husband and father

I know I messed up

I know you couldn't handle my ways any longer

You did what was best 

I'm sorry I treated you and the kids the way I did

I'm sorry at the times my temper flew out of control

I know it scared you everytime I punched the wall

I never layed a harmful hand on you or the kids

That you know is true

Yes I drank to much at times

When Life went downhill

I know I blamed you

I know now that wasn't true

I know now it was the booze

My drinking was just the start

Much worse happened 

I'll leave that stuff between us

Though I never layed a harmful hand on you or the kids

Like I said before

I don't blame you for leaving 

It was best
