I don't blame you
The hurt, the pain, the lies and shame.
I don't blame you for telling lies.
I don't blame you for the hurt that was caused.
I don't blame you not knowing at all.
I don't blame your mother or that she defends you.
I don't blame the hurt or shame.
These generational curses are to blame.
The shame, guilt, the lies that were built.
Houses tore down, families broken.
I blame the demon on your back that smiles like a snake.
I blame the tight grip it holds on you that causes fear.
How were you to know what the future would hold.
How were you to know that the darkness you see is really the demon.
How were you to know that the Erie noise you hear is the demon speaking to you.
I blame the curse that stays in your family.
I blame the shift in you as you fall to the curse.
I don't blame you at all.
I blame the curse
