Today
I watched you slither away.
no thank you
no good byes
Just gone.
******
Today
I didn't know
who I was looking at
not who I remember
no, my son is gone
******
Today
you, I saw
weakness or submission
to people who don't
deserve the son I remember
******
Today
I craved a hug
yet not for the first time
wont be for the last
or will I have to remember
those too?
********
Today
tonight I wonder
if this old heart
will mend
knowing you are
out there somewhere.
******
Tonight
I will pray
and ask the universe
To bring back
The son I want to remember
