You

Everything was fine
till you pushed it to far
you knew you couldn't do it
you knew your strength wouldn't hold
you knew later you'd suffer
but you didn't think we would too
Have you ever stopped to think
about the ones who care for you
about the ones who love you so
about the one little girl who you'd hurt
and how she'd writhe inside
each time you did something that could cost you your life
Did you ever start to wonder
What if you weren't here?
What if you'd never existed?
What if you were never born?
Well there'd be a kid you could count on
that would feel an explosion of grief because something would always be missing
Theres more than one kind of hole in hearts
there's flesh and theres emptiness
there's physical and mental
they're both real and potentially dangerous
and the kind you have puts one in mine
though they're different, one hurts worse and cuts you down to the core.
I bet you never pondered
that someone would care this much
that someone would share your pain
that someone would die inside
every time you just weren't there
and the irresolution of whether or not you ever could be again would take hold
