Things Only Musician Understand

Year One: Part One: Eliza

Over all I should be happy,
JJ is here for me
And so is his mom,
And my friends
Are here for us
At every turn.
I should be ecstatic
That Justin is a quiet baby,
He doesn't cry
He sits still
He likes to just lay there
In one moment
And listen to the world
And all it has to say,
He likes to sit with me
While I read a book
And stare up at the pages
He likes to go to work with me
When JJ is working
Because
He likes sitting there
Seeing walls that look like home
Filled with books.
He likes to be held
Because I think he's scared
That I would leave him
He likes everything
That I do
If you think about it,
But most of all,
He likes JJ,
He seems to glow
When JJ come near
And is always content to be held by him.
Justin
Is not only an amazing baby,
But he's also a sickly one.
He doesn't eat much
He doesn't sleep much,
He just lays there
Gauging the world,
He's always sick,
And the only thing that effects that,
Is JJ.
He eats more when JJ gives it to him
He sleeps the best in JJs arms
He seems to be feeling the best
When JJ has him.
Don't get me wrong
He does that all for me,
But its more effective when JJ does it.
"The rest of us
Can find happiness
In mi-ii-i-i-iisery."
Fall out boy blares
From my phone
Across the room
Scaring Justin awake
In my arms
And waking JJ
Who laid asleep on the couch.
