How Did I Know
the first memory, how would i know
again i say, how did I even know
was i even capable to understand
sitting in the water, wishing to be on land
the precise moment, always the same thing
I closed my eyes and thats when I felt the sting
feeling the hurt, as i felt your hand
felt like forever, from the time it began
the evil around me, only i could see
trying to realize, how this could be
My mind pleading for it all to stop
and it was never, never to be caught
growing up with all this pain
washing it off, in the pouring rain
but it has been so, so long now
my mind still questions why and how
what happened, i will always remember
in my room, those times together
the feelings and thoughts, i will tell
i forgive you, and I hope you enjoy hell
