Unfinished Words

"I'm not the son you dreamed I'd be

Lost in the shadows, not breaking free

Your voice still lingers, a ghost in my mind

But you left so early—was I left behind?"

"Why did you go? Why leave me alone?"

"I never wanted to; you're stronger than you know."

"But I'm breaking, I'm falling, I'm not who you'd see."

"You were always enough, you're everything to me."

"I didn't leave by choice, my son

The clock struck midnight; my time was done

But I see you now, through every tear

Every mistake, every fear."

"Why did you go? Why leave me alone?"

"I never wanted to; you're stronger than you know."

"But I'm breaking, I'm falling, I'm not who you'd see."

"You were always enough, you're everything to me."

"I wanted to show you, prove you were right

But I'm stuck in the darkness, no end in sight

Did I let you down? Am I the shame you hide?

Was I too late to stand by your side?"

"You were never a failure, you were always light

Even in shadows, you're burning bright

Let go of the guilt, the pain, the regret

I'm with you always—don't ever forget."

"I'm sorry I couldn't be more

But I'll try to live, try to restore."

"Love yourself as I love you still

You're my forever, my wish fulfilled."
