I said brother, if you only knew
You’d wish that you were in my shoes
Just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Making me happy today: turned up full volume, bouncing around the house…

When’s the day you start again
And when the hell does ‘you’ll get over it’ begin
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you’re long gone and moved on
Oh from this moment on
I’m changing the way I feel
Yeah, from this moment on
It’s time to get real
I wish nothing but the best for you
I heard that you’re settled down.
I heard that your dreams came true.

“Go and brush your teeth, get into bed, and I will read you a bedtime story…”
He thinks I am joking. I’m not. After a few minutes, he is still talking to me… I interrupt him.
“Teeth, bed! Go on!”
He laughs softly with surprise, “Yes Ma’am!” and scrambles off to do just that. I hear him shuffling and moving about.
Presently he returns, scooches into bed, tells me that he’s ready.
“I’m going to read you the story, then I am going to say goodnight, ok?”
“Ok… but… … Continue Reading
