Your Only Son

So many days, I was shown the same picture; Law abiding, Handsome, Eventualy; My reaper... So many night's, Wondering, in the dark about what difference am I? Brought into this world, no perserverience in your love, passionate moment; In the blink of an eye... One potatoe, two potatoe, three potatoe, Four: Left behind, Abandoned, Unwanted; As you made your way to the door... Your only Son, Given your name, Shared nothing, left; with only shame.. Is to Blame; Denied the right, yet shared your name; Denied the chance, To ever be the same... Your only son, you gave me your name; As if, someday: You might return, to simply reclaim... Your only son; Is it me you blame? I gave in, to no right's; I gave up, most of your name; Me, your only son; Your Shame...
