Tonight
Tonight I am looking at them instead of being there Tonight I watch my earthly body disappear into the flames Tonight I watch as the boy I raised tries so hard to be a man and not cry Tonight I watch my friends mourn me Tonight I watch the one who is the chosen one being comforted by the one that needs it most Tonight I watch as the boy who became like a son to me, battle the demons inside Tonight I wish I were there to tell him sorry Tonight I wish I could tell him what else I had to say in those final moments when he held me, dying in his embrace. Tonight I wish I could tell him that I love him, that it wasn’t just the boy I thought of then, but also of him Tonight I wish I were there so he wouldn’t have to be a man when he had barely been a child Tonight lament for the innocence in him that was lost as I drifted away Tonight I want him to know that I will always help him bear the burden that I placed on him when he wasn’t ready to be alone. Tonight I want him to know that he is never alone
