Two Lives

I am thankful for you, son.  I am always proud of you.

I am honoured to have you for my son.

 

Thankful I take time to listen to you.

Talk of stories, school, movies and video games.

Now I long to hear you.

I miss our times, miss us all together.

 

The man I was before your birth

has grown, learn and changed.

 

What you spoke, woke me up to the selfish greed.

The fear I saw in your eyes, unveiled mine.

The broken heart I hear in phone calls, shook me.

 

"Why do you drink if it makes you sick?"

I don't know son.

 

"I don't want to loose my dad.  I need someone to be my Super-Man."

"I am not going any where, Son.  Oh yeah, who is your Super-Man?"

"You are my Super-Man.  Dad you are silly."

I want to be your Super-Man son.

 

My last year living with you lead me to saving both of our lives.

For this, I am thankful for our love.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

One phone call

I cannot remember how or when my son got the number where I was staying, but I got a call from him saying "I am losing my dad and I am scared.  I don't want to lose him."  If it wasn't for the phone bill, I would have thought I imagined it in my detox.  So, I saved my life and his from the troubles I was causing.  I kept this poem though I didn't like it.  Thank you.
