Baby
I didn’t know
you were lonely
I didn’t know
you were angry
I didn’t know
I was busy
with the baby
Honey
I didn’t know
you were hurting
aching
dying
trying
using and abusing
the substance that soothed you
all that self soothing
nearly killed you
lost my baby
Nicky
you have patience
and forgiveness
of the saints
you have coping
uncomplaining of the angels
healing
you are slowly
healing
saving
what good there was
giving
you are always giving
taking
only what you must
one day
your suffering
will subside
and you
will find happiness
once again inside
Baby
thank you for your patience
you will be rewarded
for your short memory
when it come to pain
