I wanted to protect you
I wish you could stay a child
forever
and i could take care of you.
you would never have to cry
you would never have to try
i would do it for you
I would give it to you.
You would never have to hurt yourself
you would never have to suffer
I would destroy myself
I could be tougher.
If things could just be different
if you could be less damaged.

If i could have prevented
any of it from happening
anything that harmed you
I would have.
I had no control.
I wish you didn't blame me.
Just because i was all you had
doesn't mean that's how it was suppose to be.
We both needed something,
we both needed someone.
and you had me
but i missed our parents
and you had never known them.
