son
people often wonder why I call you son
"Why do you call him son?" they ask
I smile and shake my head
"I'm his sister. That's just a nickname." I dismiss
but that's not really why.
during those cold nights, i wanted to warm them for you
during those scary nights, i struggled to protect you
that is why I call you son.
during those "wild" nights, i hid you too
during those screaming nights, i tried to stop them for you
that is why i call you son.
during those torturous nights, i endured them for you
during those heartbreaking nights, i sat there with you
during those never ending, heart renching, mental shattering, all to expending, months that felt like years; i raised you!
that is why i call you son!
...
during those times, i cared for you when they couldn't
i know you don't understand yet, nor did you then, but just know:
That is why I call you son.
