Father and son
Killing you softly
I do it so promptly
Hating you till breathless
Then choking with love’s mess
Last saw you on a bed
Fighting a horse riding you to a dead end
If given a choice I could have held it back
That night it could only be slowed down
Others were riding in similar ways
Life just plays
They were a little behind
Little slow
In the flow
No need to finish first
And still be at the losing end
I let you win
Showed you the short cut to the fin
But I loved you
That holds true
No tears outside
Flowing Nile inside
Nobody knows
Nobody cares
It still sends shivers down the line
Triggering pain time and time.
People see you in me
They find your sublime
Probably you didn’t win
You couldn’t reach the fin
I will keep you on track
Holding you back
Until I ride your horse
Myself hoping to get till the end.
