If They Knew
Watching his son build a castle
Watching his wife as she laughs at the ocean
What would he do if they found out?
If only they knew
That he fathered another child
How there once was with another woman
Not a wife, just a partner
If only they knew
Would his wife still stand beside him
Would his own son let his dad tuck him in
Would they move away from this nightmare
Move away from what they become
Would he ever tell them?
Could he face this battle alone
Would he want to take back what he did?
Did he really regret what he had done?
