I know you're doing in this for me

I know you finally heard me

Tear soaked plea

My nights begging and screaming

Trying to find the You inside you.

I know your path hasn't been easy

But I'm grateful for the strength it

Gave me.

I know you seen the scars on my wrist

I know you didn't believe the lies I told

You about any of it.

I can see you again now,

You starting to resurface up through the

Darkness somehow.

And I'm so scared to trust it,

I'm so scared to want it

I'm afraid you'll go away again

That you'll stop taking the medicine

And I'll loose you again.

I can finally see the sunshine in you

I can finally see your smile

I hear you when you say

"I love you."

When you speak I'm not afraid

It'll turn into a screaming match

In a little while.

I stopped flinching at your touch

I actually reached out to give

You a hug,

You're becoming once again the

Mother I always loved.

You're more than your disease

And optimistic ever so cautiously

Because I'm so afraid the cancer and

Depression will take you back away

From me.
