Being away from someone you love.

This morning I talked to you

your growing up so fast

its been far too long

to be this way

God how the time does pass

and now your talking to me

with such complicated thought

inclinations about the world around

are usually always self taught

I’m sorry I’m such a distance

I wish I could be there

but to pollute you with my wicked mind

to you it just isn’t fair

Ill always keep you wearing

Fresh clothes

and Nike Air’s

I give you the best of anything

but you just want me there

the pain I know runs deeply

It drives me crazy every day

but look at you man

damn your smart

don’t follow my wicked ways

Im caught between a place

that isn’t heaven or isn’t hell

lost deep within my mind

I’m locked inside this cell

You, you don’t deserve that

stay solid on the tracks

while I’m just wondering to myself

when should I be coming back

Money isnt everything

I know it cant buy real love

but in my heart I swear its true

of you I think the world of

Wars taken almost the best of me

such a stress put on my life

demons that keep stalking me

in dreams most every night

Ill stay in touch with you

safely through the web cam

where you can see the best of me

the worst stays where I am

    Go back now, for there may be no tomorrow. A faulty Father is better than no Father.
    Thanks,

    I have experienced periods of feeling like this so can really relate to what you’re saying. Just because you become a parent, doesn’t mean it comes naturally or you will always do the right thing.
