16 years... & all you have to show is the empty bottle in your hand..and the deep scars on your frale body.
You always said.. I deserved better, But I never understood. I was 3 years old.. and I can still remember..
The cussing, the screaming.. the beating.. the choking.. the drugs.. and of course.. your excuses.
You hit her when she didnt say what you wanted. Nearly put her to death when she told you she was leaving.
I was 4 years old without a clue. Living in a broken home, trying to make it through.
I was taken away, and I sware you didnt notice. You were always so busy with your addictions.
Out late on the streets trying to catch a deal.. Always searching for that next big steal.
You finally got caught and put away... Swared to god you were done for good..
3 years passed & you were back all the same. Each time you would tell me you loved me and wanted to get better.
Inside I know.. It's still never going to happen. Your too far in..
You were never there.. I don't even know you..
You might as well be dead in my eyes...
