I remember all too well
The 3am roars of agony
That brought you into this world
Etched upon my body and soul
Are the scars that boar you
And gave you this life
I gave you this life
I. Gave. You. Life.
To give means the giver no longer owns that which she gives
But it takes many mistakes to understand this truth
I gave you life and here are the rules
You will live according to my standards
My morals
You will add value to the world in ways that I can be proud of
You will follow the path that I lay out for you
Become the person that I want you to be
My outlook was broken
You were broken
Seeing that which I love so fiercely
Laying down with the black dog
Made me realise
Here is a match my darling boy
Set the rule book ablaze!
From the smouldering ashes
Let only one remain
Be happy my love
