Home Sick
Home Sick
I'm caught in between
work and family
I am making the money
but at what cost
is the stakes breaking
at my knees?
he's crying cause I left
a week without him
feels so terrible
d*mn these obligations!
He's hugging my neck
I tell him in one short week
I will be back
but he don't understand
he's wailing
throwing a temper tantrum
and before I know it
I am crying right along with him
the pull beginning
to rip my skin.....
It's Halloween
he is miles away with daddy
I know they will have fun celebrating
but me imagining the picture
doesn't hurt one bit less
if anything it's making
the reality more painful
I miss my boy
as I reach and hold
a gift he gave me from the airport
his stuffed dog toy....
