Radioactive decay

I’m sorry your head aches,
it’s my fault.
It bares the strain of maintaining our life.
because I can only manage half of one.
you have to help me with mine.
A nine year old boy, some days five.
Your headaches keep me alive, but I’m so grateful that I’m able to live.
I can only live my little half life if someone picks up the slack.
I’m really sorry about that.
Selfishness I hope you’ll forgive.
