False Fatherhood

My father was a man once but never again His children watched as he welcomed his demons Whispering offers from which he couldnt abstain Quickly they betrayed him and held his freedom His face masked in umbra, his eyes, their domain He spew forth lies, endless nights of schemin' His dark maw was insatiable, only hunger remained Hadn't seen him in years but he was already leavin' I want to love him but only hold disdain Never did anything but donated his semen Marking his sons with the curse of Cain We were children once but never again
