I've given up on you finally
It only took me 20 years
But I finally did
You don't have that chokehold on me anymore
My breaths are normal
I no longer have to walk on eggshells
My feet can fall upon the ground without anxiety coursing through me
Sending off alarms for simple things that were never meant for my reality with you
The old me would say she wished you'd change
that you'd revert back to the old you, the one she loved but it's been too long
She doesn't even know what that is anymore
So that's why you're gone
Dead in my head and in my heart, no longer breathing
Your heart is no longer beating
It's gone stone cold
Not even a dagger could break through it
Goodbye, daddy
Farewell
