Dark Memories

my dad exits through the door
and all I see is the swelling of my fears
and the falling of my tears.
I know very well I shouldn't
care by now
and I swear I don't,
but something hidden remains
forbidden for me to touch on.
I wonder more than often
why couldn't it be different
why couldn't I resist this;
the impeccable pain stained brain
I so shamelessly possess.
I pray to god though I'm not
convinced of him,
that I'll pull through and overcome
what he's made me become.
