The Reason

I know this is a lot to take
For one so young as you
But I need to tell you something
Please know that this is true

I am not happy anymore
I don't know how to be
No matter how big my smile is
Its misery that I see

But your eyes light up my world
Keep me moving on
Your smile is my breath
Your laughter is my song

You are the only reason
I awake each day
Just to hear your voice
The sweet words you say

Please don't leave me cold
Alone in this dark place
Without you I am nothing
I need to see your face

Just knowing that you need me
Keeps me here
Without you I am nothing
Its my fate you will fear

I am more like her than I know
I hope I don't suffer her fate
Losing myself completely
In this self loathing hate

Just keep smiling my dear
Today is not the end
I love you so much child
You are my truest friend
