Muddled
Feeling empty is something new
I do not know what to do
I cry and cry and wonder why
I feel like I'm saying bye
This is crazy, I think to myself
I should just keep my feelings on a shelf
Out of reach and out of sight
That should make it alright
I look around and finally see
The love that was given to me
That's my son, that's my joy
I was looking at my little boy
