In His Place
I've got the infection The one where I know you're there And I get a headache I hear your voice And my ear bleeds I look at you And my eye blisters I've got that infection There's only on antibiotic Poor child Sixteen and fatherless Two younger sisters And a sickly mom Father died Too many pills Angry teenager Hates his father For what he's done To leave him Leave him with his shattered family Crying to his father's grave "oh papa why'd you leave us like this? Why did you leave?" "Where you forced to take those pills?" "Whas it me?" "Oh papa, I miss you." "Papa...How do I fill your shoes?" In his place He quits school to work He still has hope for his sisters He's fearful though For his mother's begun To stare amlesly At the knives in the kitchen Poor boy So fearful now Written March 22nd, 2002 © on Mar 22 2002 06:30 AM PST 18 • 0 • 1
