Unbreakable

UNBREAKABLE I don’t mean indestructible or incorruptible Something smashed to bits that CAN be fixed As in unbreak my heart It’s a quality absent in my situation I can never go home again This just leaves making a new start Carte blanche to reinvent Being sent to prison is not a blessing In disguise or otherwise An opportunity perhaps Were that all, I’d call it a sweet deal But let’s keep it real Starting from scratch is unnatural Playing by ear feels ***** All parties may heal in due time Try to find some peace of mind But until they design a way to rewind I’ll still have left a scar behind Maybe he’s more resilient than I give him credit for In the face of the unknown My best chance is to assume the worst-case scenario That’s rather scary, though You hear about the vicious cycle of child abuse I worry it’s begun anew He’ll follow in my footsteps too Do as I was wont to do I’d rather dwell on this **** than be overly optimistic Downplay my legacy Say I’m not the enemy The monster in the closet Or under the bed, lying in wait to eat your head If I do, I’m screwed when what’s true gets through Plus I admit A certain benefit Never questioning for a bit What I did to deserve this My sins are surface I did it on purpose just to hurt him Now he’s got permanent pronoun status Would that we could unmeet Unbreak, that would be neat
