Description
Change

You would've changed so many times.
Promises were made.
But it's the same old charade.
Repeating the same old sickening rhyme.
Within myself there stirs hate.
No child should fear it's parent.
And yet my fear was so apparent.
No child should carry this weight.
I know there are those who suffer more.
There could've been physical pain.
A brutal assault of body and brain.
It is not my body, but my soul that is sore.
For years I have traced this wheel.
You promised so many times.
Each time repeating your crime.
After so many lies, forgiving has lost it's appeal.
How can I trust you again?
Dear father of lies?
You betrayed me again, why is this no surprise?
Should I just sit back and pretend?
Pretend that all is as it should be?
While you are drowning my love?
Giving that one final homicidal shove?
Maybe with the fall I'll finally be free.
But what you do not know...
Is that with that seemingly fatal fall.
I will rise above you and stand tall.
From a broken soul, wings will grow.
Wretched creature that you are.
I will leave you behind.
For you my eyes will turn blind.
Your shallow curses distant and far.
Never again will you make me cry.
Never again will I shed a tear.
You, my friend, are no longer my worst fear.
For you, my fiend, my tears have run dry.
No longer are you the monster in the dark.
No longer do I fear your demon's bark.
My soul has grown strong.
And you will cower on the ground where you belong.
I am nothing of you, and you nothing of me.
You see, at last, I will fly free.
