He's only 9 years old
so his mother thinks being on the brink of suicide
which she thinks about as much as she blinks
is totally oblivious to her son who is actually more in-sync
Then she knows or cares to know
cuz it would hurt her soo much
to know that every time she left the room to cry
he knew that she was
But we tend to think our kids
are more out of touch
or maybe we just hope
So her son like her copes alone cuz
He's only 9 yrs old
and doesn't know what to say
But psychologically it's damaging
As his emotions get away
From his control without a father
To guide him like he shoulda been
And his mom says his father died
but he knows she lies to protect him
From knowing he's unwanted
And as time goes on
All of this pain has build up putting
A timer that after so long
will set off a bomb
So as her son comes home from school
he heard his mom crying
And it has made him feel like a fool
So as he musters up the courage
he Walks in the bathroom door
To see his mom curled up in a ball
Crying in the corner on the floor
Where he sees the blood dripping
Off her arm where it withdrawls
Infront of her and On her so
He runs to her and falls
in her lap knowing the act that
Was Tryin to be done
So as he cries with her he
Looks in her eyes and says "mom "
I'm sorry for everytime I heard u
Cry, it was dumb not to
come find you and hug You
and tell you I love u
I'm sorry I never said that
and dad Maybe gone
But I'm still here and I'm not leaving
So please don't leave me mom
I know you think I don't know
All the things that I know
But I know a lot I just don't know
How to help stop it so
Its ok and i know dad isn't dead
I know He left cause of me
And I'm sorry that I ruined things
Cuz maybe he wouldn't leave
If I wasn't born, and thats what
left her torn which was enough
To make his mom totally lose it
As she tries to say his dad leaving was
Not his fault but
She couldn't breath let alone talk
She felt alone for so long but this
Time her observant son Left her in shock
And as they sit on the Floor crying,together,
her son says I'm always here if you need me
But plz mom promise
You'll never again try to leave me....
