What keeps me here?
Well, I don't really know
All I know is that I only have one reason
For not doing it yet
I can't hurt him
It would kill him to never see me again
He asks for me by name
He asks his uncle about me
Everyday
He wants me to come say hi
I can't hurt him
So I can't kill myself
I don't know how many times I've thought about it
I can't explain why
But I know I can't hurt him
He won't understand,
Because he's only 5
But I love him
He would never understand
If I just never showed up again
He would ask his uncle,
My best friend,
Where I was
Everyday
And he would have to lie
And it would kill him
I can't do that
I can't hurt them
They are my best friend and
A little 5 year old boy that I love
Kids do that to me
I love kids
I can't hurt them
So I can't kill myself
No matter how much I want to
