Questions left unanswered

littlegoat23

Can’t you see he is destroying everything?

…But he is trying you say.

No, he isn’t, he only makes it seem that way.

In reality he is burning the bridges between you and your children, and eventually you will wonder where they are at some day.

He has hurt and tortured the, yourself as well.

You put up with it because he has you fooled by his spell.

You let him distort who you really are and I am not sure I will ever be able to forgive you.

 

All those years I looked to you for some sort of protection, and you turned a blind eye.

Leaving the two of us to question why.

Why would our mother not shield us from this pain?

And soon his daughter will wonder the same.

Why do you let this evil continue?

When all he does is use you.

We are all tired of his attitude and his abuse,

But talking and trying to make you see is no use.

You still defend him and push the rest of us away.

Leaving us alone with all of the questions and pain.

Creating a cycle that we are all trapped in.

 

Because even though some of us don’t live there, we still feel the effects.

You see this is an infection and it spreads.

Slowly it will kill everything around it,

Until you are left with the broken pieces and shit.

I know this isn’t what you wanted, but subconsciously you put yourself in this pit.

And I will not let you take me with you.
