A Sorrowed Past To Always Last
A lot of heartache I have known
Since I was born, till now when grown
Born into a loving family
Not the scenario for me
Something felt wrong in my heart
That I could feel from the start
Out of place and never wanted
All my days were being counted
till I was old enough to leave
For now it would be filled with grief
Pushed around ignored and hated
I was hopeful and had waited
For some kind of love return
That I gave, but I got burned
The affection brought on me
Was out of hurt and misery
By a brother who would fake
Real love and somehow take
My innocence away for good
A situation no kid should
Be put through but it would last
And be part of a sorrowed past
That followed me into my teens
And nightmares when I would dream
No teen romance would be mine
It would take a lot of time
To trust anyone again
One touch I would close down, but then
I finally felt my hand be held
By someone who I could tell
My story and not freak out
Learning what true loves about
But now and then the past creeps back
And I have a new attack
Of memories that linger on
Never going to be gone
From my life and stay forever
Like someones pulling the lever
Opening my hearts door
To the way it was before
And I get scared once again
Putting walls up on a friend
That don't deserve this kind of treatment
But holds on till I can beat it
