Naw Danii.. its not about me not wantin to share... that's always a writer's prerogative on what and how to approach said topic should he/she choose to do so. im jus tryin to be clear. im thinkin you're premise was kinda vague.. And when someone like myself starts droppin.. Clarity is an important item, Feel me?
I'll leave you alone for awhile
i hope your comp goes well and to your liking. B-EZ

was there something more i was suposed to do?
please come back!
i hung your picture on every street corner around town
i looked for you arounnd the house

i'll be a good boy i promise please
i even found a bag of your favorite candy
its really bitter but i remember you ate it with your nose
does that make it sweeter?

red stuff comes out of his mouth in the bathroom
he yells really loud and he throws bottles of daddy juice at me

No matter what I’ve done
No matter what I’ll ever do
Nothing could overcome the sadness in my heart
If I can’t be with you
I take you everywhere I go
Be it short or far
Within every beat of my heart
That is where you are
You’re with me every morning I awake
As a matter of fact, the entire day
You even whisper in my ear
With every word I say
You’re even with me on the court
And still you follow me to the shower
And as love rains over my entire body
I’m totally cleansed by its power
You’re my one and only dream
And you’re featured on all my thoughts
You were even with me
For the last burger that I bought
You sit with me on the job
And walk with me through the rain
And every time I fall
You help me overcome the pain
You’re there when I succeed
You’re even there when I fail
You never try to hide
You’re even there when I meet other females
And no matter how they look
Be it foul or fair
They’ll never take your spot
Because to you, they don’t compare
You’re with me when I eat
You’re even with me when I drink
If you weren’t in my life
I wouldn’t have enough breath to even think
You’re the love of my life
Like you, there will never be another
Because no other lady
Can give me the love of my mother
Love, your son, Eric

Mother
Lovingly, she takes my hand
And guides me through this life.
When I stumble, when I fall,
She's there to lift me on my feet.
Though I may pull away my hand,
She waits for my return.
When I am frustrated, discouraged, or sad,
She's there to calm my fears,
And wipe away my tears.
Nothing can replace a mother's love,
Or the love for Mother.
Lovingly, she takes my hand
And guides me through this life.
When I stumble, when I fall,
She's there to lift me on my feet.
Though I may pull away my hand,
She waits for my return.
When I am frustrated, discouraged, or sad,
She's there to calm my fears,
And wipe away my tears.
Nothing can replace a mother's love,
Or the love for Mother.
