He Was Mine

Yes he may have been a liar
May have been hard work
Irritating at times
A school boy at its worst

Gleefully cheeky
Suddenly shy
Extremely sexy
Any woman would find
An amazing kisser
A lover to last
Your making me angry
As he was my heart

He may have been ignorant to your troubles
And mine
Shyly creative
Honestly blind
Lovingly stupid
Beautifully versed
Amazingly manly
Even at his worst

Yes he was an addict
That's why he's not here
You say I should of told you 
But our problems were clear
He died in his sleep
I was laying right there

Your blaming me for his departure
There is hate in your eyes
It's all my fault you say 
Well this is a surprise

So tell me something
Explain it right now
Where were you 
When he was a teen
Sniffing glue, smoking pipes and
Doing E's
Where were you when he started injecting drugs
Still a child that's what he was

He was my hell
My heaven 
My earth
My gold 
My silver
My darkness
My sky

But most importantly 
He was mine
