Father you have forsaken me
You are nothing that I thought you would be

At one point in time I would've sworn you were the perfect piece to a puzzle of mine There were a few good years
Endured with lots of tears
Cigarette stained wallpaper
Screaming matches and anger

I grew up
And the pain I carried
Finally evaporated

You know evaporation
Eventually becomes precipitation
It just so happened to be
Enough to completely
Drown me
This time
I wish I could press rewind

But this new pain
Somehow expanded into something more
Something worse
Like I'm cursed

I don't want to carry your decisions with me until I become colder
But the weight is unbearable on my shoulders

How do your actions have the ability to grip me in anger
How does your evil
Turn into my peril

How do you get to do this to me?
After everything
Father you have forsaken me
