Little Boy Blue

Little boy blue
Trying to make sense
Of lies told
Dishonesty disguised as true
Promises strewn
Of toys and places
He'll never see soon
Material love
Release white dove
To the innocent heart
Believing
The deceiving

Hiding my burning tears
Worrying about years
How much can he take?
I know my own stake
How much I can
Before I break
But this is my boy
Not some senseless
Lifeless toy

I see the joy
Fade in my boy
Waiting for the visit
Wondering out loud
Did he forget?
One time
Two time
Nickel dime
He can't tell time
That's what the monster's
Counting on
But my boy
My boy
He knows
He's not a toy
So he looks to me
For all his joy

Wipe my tears
Hope he doesn't see
Take a deep breath
Here comes Mommy
