You Have Broken My Heart

You have broken my heart Not because you forget my birthday Or never send me flowers Or because you forget to be kind You have broken my heart Because you are my son, my life And because you have forgotten your own heart And my love is not enough to fix it

I could have written this about my son. Thinking of you and feeling your pain.
