I C U

by Adeem the Artist

lyrics

You were standing at the register freckle cheeked and starry eyed
Jewelry in your septum , purple hair badly dyed
And I waded through the space between the two of us like memoirs
You were barely seventeen, nursing suicide scars

And were that I could hold you like a father would
Through the tumultuous seasons of your childhood
I just looked you in the eyes and I believe that it was understood
I saw you

And now I’m alone with thoughts of you
And there’s not a lot that I can do
But I can sing a song for you if it’ll make you feel better
Like a magic spell in melody
For all the kids like you and me
Who don’t know what they’re supposed to be
You are loved.
You are treasured.

Were that I could hold you like a father would
Through the tumultuous seasons of your childhood
I will look you in the eye and I declare that you are good

& I have not been there
I won't pretend to understand the pain you've known
But I have traveled well through places where light
has never shown
You're not alone...
