Something hurts inside
Something stinging clear.
Hearing the words she said
I finally knew fear.
To lose the only one
Who ever understood my pain.
Being by her side
Drove me slowly so insane.
But that was good
And we had fun.
I remember those warm summer days
Lounging in the sun.
She is like a second mother
One who'd never quit.
If anyone put her down
There was no way in hell she'd give a shit.
But now I find myself
Muttering the beat of life
Panic rises in my throat
Her only hope is under the knife.
She was there
when my father was not.
She gave me all the virtues
Taught me all the tricks
Adding more wild cards to the deck
All this just for kicks.
These years together
Have meant more to me
Than anything else.
I've taken on her traits
And played dress up in her clothes.
I've been through thick and thin
Whatever life throws.
And she's been there by my side
Guided my every step.
I know in my heart
She'll be alive forever.
But I'd never forgive Him
If this bond, he did sever.
