Thinking back to the time we spent,

The memories that  will last forever.

In the ocean of your eyes, I dreamt.

It feels like it the start of an endeavor,

One that will work in my favor.

With her by my side, I can finally have fun.

I need her guidance, she is my savior.

The memories eclipse, like the moon to the sun

The girl that saves me, eclipses my soul

The words of a woman,

The loss of a mother.

Brought together by music.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Because she does now,

After that fateful dance,

And five little words,

“I Love You My Baby”

The typical boy,

In his typical life,

Was a Typical toy,

With a typical knife,

It was a typical day,

With a typical start,

But this typical day,

Ended in an untypical way.

The father had a mission,

To provide a stable life.

A life for his family, his kids,

He worked day in and day out

Breaking his back and decimating his limbs

Merely to put food on the table for the kids,

He’d work every day to provide for his son.

The most respectable guy I know,

Doing it all for a sense of stability

A woman walks alone

Working late to support the kids

She sped through the night, chilled to the bone

From behind, she doesn’t see him coming

He grabs her, she is in trouble

A local fellow saw the attack

She ran to the scene on the double

He did his job and the man won’t be back

Hard working woman

She lives to please

She drinks to ease

Won’t accept help

She does too much

No time for sleep

She works non-stop

She scares me deep

He stays awake,

While the world sleeps.

Contemplating  the stakes,

Of the daily leaps,

Thinking of the choices he's made.

Trying to make sense of the world,

The boy decides the life he trades,

The security of her, or the fun of others.

He loves her but the timings wrong.

What can he do?
