My Boys

by Elise   Jan 19, 2010


For a long time I was on my own,
Forever I thought that I'd be alone,
And when I had finally given up,
I decided I would drop my cup,
For it had drained empty,
There was nothing left within me;

So I stood on the edge of the cliff,
Where I stood not scared but stiff,
When suddenly, I wasn't alone,
I was joined by two boys also made of stone;

Our bond grew and grew,
And then finally I knew,
I couldn't leave them behind,
These great boys of mine;

My most favorite and special memory,
Was the night when they both slept beside me,
It was a moment I will always treasure,
Just remembering it, gives me so much pleasure,
I watched over them as they went to sleep,
Its a sacred night I will always keep,
These great boys of mine,
I couldn't leave them behind;

I would do anything to see them happy,
No matter what, even if it hurt me,
Protect them I would,
From anything I could,
I love them with all my heart,
I hope we never part;

But a nightmare came to past,
As if a treterous storm were cast,
I lost these boys of mine,
It was as if I were being punished for a crime,
As it dawned on me and my heart,
Everything completely fell apart;

The pain is too much for me,
I had never felt so lonely,
So I returned back to the cliff,
And this time I wasnt even stiff,
I was so ready to die,
So ready to say goodbye;

But a force was holding me back,
I wasn't even allowed to pack,
For the trip I wanted to take,
To end this horrible pain, for Pete's sake!

So maybe I should stay,
For my love for them would keep me at bay,
I would suffer for them and still be here,
And without any fear,
I would be there if they need me,
And one day I might be happy,

To have them back in my arms,
It would set off all my alarms,
These great boys of mine,
How could I ever leave them behind?
