I was aware of it all
I was aware you had the knife to my back
Prickling against my skin
Almost tauntingly so
Your voice tickling my ear
How can my heart race so fast?

I'm not stupid
I know the game you're playing
Lie
Apologize
Lie
Apologize
Again
And
Again
No one should be scared of the one person that was supposed to keep them safe
No one should be afraid of their own

Father

Trapped in what I did and didn't do
The jaws of death closing in
I felt like giving up
All it took was a knife from the kitchen
Or in your case
A gun to the chest

I'm trying to heal from the pain
You took fifteen years of my life
"Don't let him take any more time away from you"
I can't exactly do that without healing can I?
It's just taking a lot longer than I would like
And it's hard
It's really hard

I'm writing a book if you want to check it out. It's called Enigmatic I have been working really hard on it. So please consider checking it out🥺🙏
