Seconds turned to minutes, hours, days
with every passing moment your images slowly fade as I desperately grasp to hold on amidst all the heartache
They say time heals all but I now know that's not the case
As I constantly lay awake missing your warm embrace
I gave you life and I can take it away
Is something parents love to state
But in my case it was more like give and take
Sure I helped create but you filled with love what was once riddled with hate
