Murder of a Relationship

Murder I killed three people yesterday I know exactly when, I used no weapon formed by man I killed them with my sin A mother, daughter and a son Whom I’d sworn to protect, I didn’t see their pain filled eyes As they felt the blows connect They never saw it coming As I cruelly took their life, A son, a daughter and their mom I wanted for my wife I loved them all, or so I said At least when I was straight, Yet not enough to stop the dope So I guess you’d call that hate I could have been their hero I might have been a dad, Instead I left a tragic mess That was so much more that sad The mother was my princess And I, her shining prince, It ended with a phone call I’ve mourned them ever since Sissy was a shining star Whose smile would light a room, Her laughter rang within my ears Now silent as a tomb And little man looked up to me Hoping for my love, Apathy and silence Was my gift to that dove An unsigned letter Full of lies and a smattering of truth, Was all it took to kill them From grown adult to youth Betrayal in the utmost Was all I chose to give, When all I had to do was love For all of them to live I’ll regret it always And I’ll miss them evermore, As I scream and cry and wonder why I walked right out their door I killed my family yesterday I know precisely when, I used the cruelest weapon known I murdered them with sin
