Chosen Grief


Inside me there's a life I may not give the chance To live nor To be a kid Nor To grow big I feel you baby Mommy is here Yet please my child Understand This world is evil The world is cold Daddy's got a baby girl And mommy can't do this alone But with you here inside me I'm trying to figure out how to know This is right To never hold you close And just let you go I think I felt you I'm sure I did Is it to early to feel you kick? The doctor saw mommy Lose her mind And told mommy that you'd be fine He let me hear Your beautiful heart beat Then told me the reasons Mommy and You had to part See its not that I don't love you Cause I already do Daddy wouldn't know it But we've already become two Yet the doctor explained That you would be sick Your life would be full of feeding tubes And all sorts of bad shit Mommy wishes shed hold you For one second at least See baby I love you & daddy does too We love each other And want what's right for you Daddy doesn't say much I know you've heard He seems angry my child But I think his grief has gone wild For many hours I've thought Of what I'm to do You are a part of me Even only six weeks or two Please my sweet infant Hear me now For honey pie I promise I will and do always love you And I think daddy does too Be safe up there I know it's true You got many angels To watch upon you You'll be remembered You'll be in our heart Yet darling This is a cruel world You must part
