it's time to disembark and disengage
time has come to stop the rabid rage
how is the question, an answer unknown
I'm sure love is the key, quilted and sewn

he's family, not just a former friend
valuable and worth the time I'll spend
I'll learn to live with memories and fears
I can't erase what he's done in past years

my mind, a mirage of a mangled mess
hidden away is a touch of 'sane-ness'
for a brief moment, I wandered there
long enough for my sanity to share

it said, "Granted Suzi, he is your son
how much more damage will you allow done?

there will be an empty plate at my table

it's been a year since we've met eye to eye

it's been a year since we've met eye to eye
can't say I don't miss him, that'd be a lie

I feel like I lost my son a long time ago
this image now is someone I don't know
but hope is not lost, I believe in God
and I'll pray for him when my head I nod
