"Intangible"

No matter how hard I try
No matter how much I pray
A river of tears will not bring you back
A pool of my blood will not replace
The life that you loss
And a broken heart
Will not allow you to hear me calling

I can not reverse time
In order to cherish you all the more
I can not press rewind
To listen to the song you would sing every morning
I am powerless to change the circumstance

I can not erase your name from the bullets
That you so fatally accepted
I can not change your husband's insanity
I can not change that he was my father

I wish I could have at least attended your funeral
I wish that I could still be a mama's boy
Now your touch is intangible
And your little boy is growing into a man

But you will always have the greatest part of my heart
And all the love that you could ever dream of
Even if I have to love you in death
My love will give birth to an eternity of possibility.
