Her Son and Mine

2 versions
Of one man
Who was supposed to exist
But never came to fruition

He should have
Came before both
But instead
2 came into existence

A different mother
A different father
Both came
Into the mix

Changing the outcome
Of our future
As the past
We can’t unfix

As I shook
Her sons hand
I could only think
If he realized

That I
Should have been
His father
And if he can
Read that in my eyes

My son
None the wiser
Of how close
It was
To him never coming to be

I guess
Our breakup
Was the twist in fate
That caused
Their life’s
Destiny
