Fathers Betrayal
A betrayal that tears, I pales my very core
Deep and destructive, forever is a lie
Truth laughs, it was never alive
All I believed, never belonged to me
Out of softness and comfort, comes cold, jagged screams
Grief in the face of cruelty
Life now dead and diseased
A gaping wound that will never scar, never heal
A thick, stinging blanket covers me
Blind me again, I do not want to see
Take my words, go on, go ahead
Twist them, exploit them
Spit on them,
Sell them for more power, more lies
I final gift for you to murder
