The boy

I told you when I first said hi
That I already have a number one
And told you then to tell me bye
Dont' make me choose you over my son

You pushed and shoved and broke the wall
I'd built around our home
Our lives were shaken by your call
But relenting, we let you come

You bounced on in and settled down
Without a second peek
If you had looked youd've seen my frown
Did you not hear me speak?

I trusted you with all I had
The home, the child, the man
Why did you have to be so bad
And throw us in your garbage can

You said, "I love him too", and cried
and I believed your words
But then something between us died
You should have cut us up with swords

So here we are, the two of us
And you are far away
We sit and live because we must
I miss you every day
