My Darling Boy Casey

My Darling Boy, Casey

My darling baby boy, Casey
You’ve brought me so much joy.
When they took you away from me
I was gutted & I felt that I could no longer breathe.

My whole world was legitimately gone.
I was distinctly lost,
My heart was covered in frost.
Soon, it would be somewhat thawed,
It was extraordinarily …odd.

Flawed as my heart may be,
My heart is full of love for my whimsical family
You always made me smile
With your unique style.

When you came back into my life
I was euphoric, despite the considerable strife.
I just wanted your love, I needed to feel like
I was a decent mom,
It was my second chance; I did not want to blow it, even worse, I did not want to be an outright bomb.


You’re special and unquestionably unique to me
And to this side of your extended family.
You have some poor traits
It is your unique charm that lets you to get by and skate


I miss your sarcasm and sharp wit
And for many days, I miss you, and how you just fit
Right into this family blend. I miss the silly times

Even you secretly recording me on Snapcat, and how you 
Would forget boundaries and would oftentimes
How you could be so sweet and make me smile
Even when this world was so vile
I believed you loved me. Was I a fool?
Or just  some sort of tool
To get back at your dad?


I hope you recognize how much you mean to me
My darling boy, Casey.
