My Boy

My Boy

Lives with dead dreams

And mine have died too.

My Boy

Lives life at the bottom of a bottle

And mine is awash with his pain.

My Boy

Was going to be a Fireman, a Train Driver,

Or a Rock Star

And I was going to be a good Mother

My Boy is out of reach,

Out of chances, out of time

And I can't reach through his addiction,

Give anymore chances.

My Boy and Me,

We're both out of time...

Of course I'm not saying that writing poetry will change your world...but it may ease your journey through it...just a little.
