Can't Abandon

For him it’s just missing someone.

And what ties to the distance

Between this one and that one

Fall limp in his judgment.

He just wants me home.

 

How do I say, “its our mother”

And the one you love,

Has left me numb

And aching to stay gone?

You can’t sell that to the lower ages.

He just wants me home.

 

My heart broke open

To hear him say he missed me

And I sent my love through the wires

Sending back his stories

And standing invitations for return.

 

It’s him that’ll draw me home.

 

She put him on the phone to play me

And I sunk in it

Knowing full well

How she did it,

But when he said he missed me

I felt sure that he would always be

Bigger than his size

 

And I can’t abandon someone like that.
