He is everything

He is the song I sing

My dear son

He's the brightest spring

She is crooked

The cries of a crow

Can't compare to her voice,

her arrows, her bow

His flowers of color

Curious and brave

A natural leader

My eyes engraved

The piercing of her words

Her shades of ember

Absent, yet ringing

The hurt is easy to remember

Yet unknowing of the world

The world he owns

The petals he leaves behind

And the power he holds

I clench my fist

Seeing her in this house

Of broken memories

Of a lonely spouse

I am gone for him

My adventures give him anew

I think about the smile

I can come home to

Mom and I don't see each other

Our family pictures are blurred

But when she spreads her vulture wings

I choke under the waves of her words
