My Son's Autism

I knew something had changed,
     I wanted someone to blame
To hear news like that,
     was like getting hit by a baseball bat
The dreams that I had for tomorrow,
     all just suddenly seem borrowed
I would give up anything,
     because he is my everything
If I could take this away from him I would,
     I would do anything that I could
I am supposed to be his rock,
     the one he can count on when things go dark
I lay in bed crying,
     feeling as if I'm dying
I hate watching him go through this, 
     I just want to give him a hug and a kiss
I want to take him in my arms and hold him tight, 
     promising to always fight
Sometimes we cry together,
     I will love him forever
I feel as if part of him is missing, 
     it will always keep me guessing
I'm trying to keep things under control,
     when all I want to do is crawl into a hole
I pray everyday for a "cure,"
     knowing that his life is so pure
Please let me wake up from this nightmare,
      away from all the despair

Then There Was You

You came into my life,
you took away all my strife

You told me everything would work out for the best,
you took away all my mess

You promised you would always be there,
now I never have to look where

You told me we would always be together,
you said, "I'll love your forever"

Now I am left here all alone,
still smelling your cologne

All I can think about is the past,
I've put myself into a giant cast

I'm afraid to fall in love again,
I'm scared of where it will end.
