This poem is completely random but anyway… I created this character named Michel who is Erik's father. He's dead, sadly (but the story couldn't go on otherwise…) and this is just his thoughts on his son as he watches from wherever he is…
Someone Worth Loving
I remember you
When you were nothing more than a pair of eyes
When you were the child I held in my arms
When you were mine
When I had someone worth loving
And now I'm watching
How you hurt yourself for love
And I wonder if it's my fault…
If somehow I've made you this way
Though I know you loved me the only way you could
Though I know you lost me too soon to really know me
Though I know there's nothing I can do now
I wish I could tell you
How loved you were
You know she loved you—it was herself she hated
It was he guilt she hated
Me she hated, for dying
You simply got in the way
I wish I could tell you
How to fix your life
How to be someone worth loving
But all I can do is tell you
That you already are
And I know you don't hear me
But I have to say it anyway
I just remember
How you were
My child, my image
My immortality
I remember your smile
And I remember thinking "This is someone worth loving"
And I can only wonder what went wrong…
How can I save you from yourself
When I couldn't even save you from your fate
There's nothing I can do from here
And yet I have to say I love you
And ask you
Please
To love yourself
Your like is not your fault
No one ever told you that
But it's the truth.
Not even God can tell you how to succeed
But I'm trying
Because I have to love you…
My son
Perhaps I didn't say it enough so that you could hear
Perhaps I left too soon to let you know
But you are worth loving…
So many people love you…
So listen to them
And know
That you are not alone.
