I love you baby, without question I still love you
after all this
Your passionate righteousness engulfs my every thought
and when I look into our son's eyes
there you are
smiling back at me
You were so strong baby, a hearty laugh, my best friend
You had all the answers to the problems of the world
How admirable and noble of you to concern yourself so with truth about society
You were a tortured genious
That brain of yours, a sponge
Your heart breaking for strangers
I wanted nothing to do without you, you consumed me love
Baby's up
daddy, where did you go?
Unconscious everafter? Seeker of pain? Permanent peace?
Baby I know how much pain you suffered from your past
those things were to make you more resiliant
I wanted to take all your hurt and bury it away
but I couldn't
You would say I didn't know you
and getting you to talk was like pulling teeth
Our life together, especially lately has been hard on you
And me obsessed with school
I should have realized how you were feeling
Your life flashes before my eyes
that motion, your hands path to your chest
gave me diarhea and erased my appetite
your promise still wrapped around my finger
I don't know if I'll ever let go, I don't want to baby I love you
