Goodbye

Dear mom and dad, you told me I was your treasure My heart quivers to ask you, why did you leave me to break under the pressure? A worthless, wretched, withered flower, that was I nonetheless, I always did my part I dreamed of your embrace, wished for a little praise; yet your groans and snide remarks Only shattered what was left of my heart I was an dirty, filthy mattress, in desperate need of cleaning Struck with wooden bat, each night, as i'd yelp Your scoldings, your beatings, your old leather belt It hurts to say, they never really helped Dear lover, my love was true It hurt to know, love was just a game for you My heart was a mere counter on the board It would suffer turns and turns just to get to you My veins were the lonely pathways My blood still reeks of all the sorrows you've put me through Life is a prison All doors shut tight, I'm captured in a chain There only ever is one escape I never wished to stop living, I only wished to cease the pain Tonight, as the clock strickes midnight My foot will caress the chair, I'll count till three I died a long time ago But tonight, I'd finally be free Goodbye, beloved, father and mother I hope one day you'd realize what these words meant Signing off, Yours truly, A descendent, a progeny, a lover, a disappointment
