by Del Shawn Davidson
Can you stand with me in the shadows
Or will you whisper bitter somethings in my ear saying how right you were and
how wrong my choice was
Heartache is only intensified by cynical sarcasm
Can you stand with me in the shadows
Or shall you tell me again how much you love me and
how you should’ve never left our family
Selfish choices should not include indiscriminate sex with baby’s mommas
Can you stand with me in the shadows
Become the man I wanted 17 years ago who was supportive and
saw the inner layers of my onion without crying tears of pity
I will never tell you how much I need you now
