The Day You Were Born

My head never stops screaming, my heart it is torn.
Happiness visited me, yes you were born.

So tiny and needy, but oh what a joy
Congratulations ! A beautiful boy.

Each day you brought sunshine, my reason to live.
Unconditional love, I learned how to give.

So handsome and clever, nothing you couldn't do
Adored by everyone, boy how you knew!

How did this monster enter our world?
His greed and deception so quickly unfurled.

He stole all your passion so you couldn't achieve
A path of destruction he began to leave.

He stole my whole family, now strength on his side
Tortured me slowly, taking your pride.

The shine in your eye, your healthy young skin
He was having a party, no way he'd give in.

You started to trust him, he still wanted more
Your soul that he craved for, that was for sure.

Lies licked his evil tongue, crime clutched his claws
I taught you as a small child not to break laws.

But now he's your best friend, that demon inside
Wherever you turn there is nowhere to hide.

Your life he has taken, your hands he has chained.
Now that he's imprisoned can this beast be tamed?

My head is still screaming, my heart is so torn
I loved you the second that you were born.

The evil green parasite filling your head,
I wish I could steal from you. I want it dead.

I'd starve it and beat it, just as it's done
To you Lewis, my beautiful son.

I'll pray for you,wait for you,when time is done
May your soul return and we'll both share the sun.

My head is still screaming, my heart is still torn
Best day of my life?

The day you were born.
