Ameerah (I wish you knew)

By mikeygreenleaf

Ameerah (I wish you knew)

I didn't put my best foot down today
But it's that smile that drives demons away
Puffing weed while you're fast asleep
Worrying how we're gonna eat
Dad couldn't control his mood today
Lost the filter to the things I say
Hurt your feelings taking life out on you
The only girl in my life that treats me true
The definition of ride or die
Simply held my face as I began to cry
Told me "daddy it'll be ok"
Hugged me tight and took my breath away
Damn right, I thought, I only wish you knew
The lengths that I would go for you
To keep that smile stuck on your face
Makes me feel like I've just won first place
Only three years in but I'll do my best
To keep my attitude in check
Cuz when it gets down to me and you
You're my hero baby girl I only wish you knew
How special that you are to me
Separation anxiety
Is all I feel when you're not around
Come back ASAP so we can hold it down

    Just beautiful. I will admit that reading this made it hard to swallow. Nicely writ, sir. Scholar
