My son

Last time I stopped my life
I lived with you I breathed with you I felt you I cried with you I was behind bars with you I was with you when you didn't eat enough I was with you when you were lonely I was with you when you suffered I was with you when they close the doors on you I was with you every moment of every day. I was in jail with you I was locked up

I can never stop being your mother or loving you or missing you or suffering with you but I can let go I can let you live with your choices I can let you be locked up alone I can let you carry the sadness
