twisted love

Helplessly figuring life without your support.
Were you my first love?
Trying to mend the mistakes you caused.
Did you leave me on the shore?
Building a wall no one can tear.
Is this because of your faults?
Remembering what it's like having you around.
How did I live while having you damaging my core?
Scared to connect with your mirror,
because if I do, my life would be a loophole.
Guilt crawling into me while distancing.
Is this the power that a father has on a soul?
Smiling while I navigate through this world.
Jealous when I see that other people have more.
Triggered by every word that you spoke,
because only you know what's behind that door.

Time to break the bond. See you in the mirror.
