Jake

     
you're the poetic part of me      
the pieces I can't reach      
     
stained glass pain      
so beautiful to behold      
each panel of our life      
tells a story      
     
an addicted mamma      
who set a path      
for your gentle soul      
to walk through the fire      
     
there was no other way for you      
I crossed into hell      
carried you with me      
only one way back      
& it was through the flames      
     
yet you don't hate me      
your spirit too bright      
for a world such as this      
     
a poet's soul      
much wiser than I      
you make me see things      
that are hidden from me      
with your resilience      
     
we aren't talking now      
I let you down again      
built your dad up      
just to have his disappointment      
crash down upon your head      
     
I miss you tonight      
hope you will pick up the pen      
before you ever follow      
in the shadow of my self demise
