Bad Memories

Once I cried Get away I tried I lived in fear So many a tear My little sisters and I Mom would say why do you cry Scared of the truth so I would lie Hurting my sister's worse than me But I had to sit there and see The monster that he be Loved the taste of our fear He feasted on each single tear Pain of the body pain of the mind No such thing as a person kind Listen to the lies Some kid at school must have blackened his eyes For so many years So many tears Wishing he would die Hiding his lie Living a nightmare wide awake Was more than my brain could take Hide somewhere inside Each time I cried. Became harder each time Life was our only crime I got lost inside my rhyme Got lost inside No one to confide Childhood Don't know how I with stood. The pain Daddy's stain I Still close my eyes and see What used to be Lost in a dream Time stood still it did seem wishing to awake Our smiles fake Was hard to take I dream it still Bends my will Locked in my mind Seeing life in rewind I shed a tear A shiver of fear Someone asks are you okay This I say Just something in my eye Looking towards the sky Still living the lie
