"Family"

Your name bites like acid on my tongue Your memories a parasite within my brain. I pray to all the Gods that the pain erases you from my heart, And yet you refuse to leave. I don't know what I did to deserve you, But maybe one day I'll earn enough karma to move on. A naive child before, You opened my eyes to cruelty Disguised as love It was never meant to be this way, But you refuse to look within yourself. So today I vow to move one, To love myself enough to leave you behind. You may cloud my past, But I decide my future, And it will be filled with joy.
