I Miss My Kid

She said; Mom and Dad I don't care how much you miss me
Because I don't miss you all that much
I'm not that sad without you here
But with my kid
It's a different story
It's been awhile since you kicked me and my kid out of your house
I didn't mean to do what I did
I said it over and over again
But you never did listen
Remember how my kid used to sit on my shoulders?
And he used to try and reach for the sky
He always wanted to touch the clouds
He doesn't do that anymore
And remember when he used to smile all of the time?
He was the sun that shined
Now his face is so pale
He looks like a ghost;
And it scares me
Now the sun doesn't shine anymore
Remember how he used to cry whenever I left him?
He would sit by the front door until I came home from school
My kid doesn't cry anymore
And he feels so light when I pick him up
He used to be so heavy
Especially after all that candy we ate at Halloween
He doesn't feel so heavy anymore
And why do his eyes look so empty?
They used to be so full of life and emotion
My kid doesn't feel anything anymore
And now I wonder if he misses me
Or can he?
Because I sure do miss him a lot
I miss my kid
And do you remember how we used to walk down the street and he would wave at everybody that passed by?
And if no one waved back then that would make him cry
He doesn't acknowledge anyone anymore
I don't think that he even knows that I'm here
He ignores me
Sometimes I can hear him crying in the middle of the night
But when I run into his room it's empty
And that's exactly the way I feel
And now I know for sure
My kid isn't coming home anymore
I wonder how much he misses me
Because I sure do miss him a lot
I miss my kid
Mom and Dad I want to know how much you miss me
Because right now I'm thinking that you can't possibly miss me as much as I miss my kid
