For this to be the outcome: a dead-eyed sociopath
who lies, steals and cares only for his next fix…
Why did I pour so much love into every bath?
Did I review spelling words, cheer him on in math,
teach him to play Scrabble, practice soccer kicks
for this to be the outcome: a dead-eyed sociopath?
Should I have scolded more? Not held back my wrath?
Not applauded jokes and puppet shows and magic tricks?
Why did I pour so much love into every bath?
Why did I get training wheels to help him on his path?
Why sleepless nights, why adenoid surgery at six
for this to be the outcome: a dead-eyed sociopath?
Why helmets? Why hiking? Why carefully charted growth?
Why did I make him eat all those fucking carrot sticks?
Why did I pour so much love into every bath?
Why can't he see me drowning in his aftermath?
Did I make him think there was nothing he couldn't fix
for this to be the outcome: a dead-eyed sociopath?
Why did I pour so much love into every bath?
