who is that child
by your side
who is that child
is he the one I always wanted
is he the love part of you living on
born of another
your love child
I want to know your son
I want to hold him close
I want to see how you would be
un-jaded
un-afraid
un-aware
before life got in the way
and made you say
that love
doesn’t exist
I miss you
I miss watching you breathe
the way you slept
your naked body, your damaged soul,
your tenderness when you forgot to hide the smile
that once made me whole
that look
the words you could never find
the love that poured from your eyes
straight into my shattered heart
who is that child
that walks like you
may I hold his tiny fingers in my hand?
