No Identity
I see the picture but it's blurry
was that us smiling
with no worry?
I wish I could remeber
could you maybe teach me to?
all those times you left me bruised
could you pick me up daddy?
make everything brand new
the tears are formed right in my eyes
the weight of you leaving
took me by surprise
I don't remeber us being particular close
but mom is gone
so maybe I transferred all this love
right into you
but why do you feel like a ghost?
I wish there was a switch to what you do
I could so easily just turn off
so when you call me drunk in a stupor
I would not have to care at all
but I can't let go,
I think I did too much with mama
left a void of longing,
to make it be content
sometimes everything still feels unfair
but more than not I am happy with the present
why want you come for the ride?
daddy remeber my hand?
I am extending my heart
won't you please take it?
or am I just the same child
you told once that had no identity?
