By My Side

It didn’t matter that Mommy stopped smiling,

That she was too tired to come to dinners and your birthdays,

Because nothing could deter his positivity.

And it didn’t matter that Mommy and Daddy never played with you anymore,

That they fought and cried every night,

Because he’d always play with you instead.

And it didn’t matter that you missed Randall,

That Daddy looked at you with pity, and Mom with disgust,

Because he never understood why.

And it didn’t matter that she yelled at you, and hurt you,

And Dad never stopped her,

Because he still loved them dearly.

And it didn’t matter that you were afraid,

That your heart seized around water, and around her,

Because when danger was near, he knew no fear.

And it didn’t matter that when you moved out, Mom finally smiled again,

And that would be your last memory of her,

Because he lives in a world where it’s not.

And it didn’t matter when you did Khonshu’s bidding,

When you came home bloody and tired,

Because he still lives happily, normally, and obliviously.

And while he’s the reason you feel certifiable:

You talk to “yourself,” you keep losing time,

He’s also the reason that you’re still alive.

So, it doesn’t matter if the world is ending,

If Layla’s in trouble and we’re all gonna die.

‘Cause no matter what happens, wherever we’re heading,

He will always be by my side.
