From Your Daughter (May it Never Reach Your Eyes)

Poison spews
dribbling from every continent
I am not happy
but I am content

your words reflect
on my glassy eyes
I understand now:
you'll never change,
and I should give up hope now.

Every year it seems you recycle a couple guys
sucking up their promises and all of their lies
i'm tired now can't you see
you've ruined the best parts of me

you hold on to those promises and lies
and ignore the life you created
you wont listen
you wont let go of me
you want me here
and then you want nothing to do with me

im tired of it
im tired of you
I love you
but you are so stupid sometimes
I cry as I write this
for a while I couldnt breathe
im done
youve ruined the best parts of me

venom erupts from a pent up volcano
I remember bad things
you ask why do I keep bringing up the past

cause the past is what got me to here
I dont want this pain to last
I dont want you chipping every piece away
of my entire being
my self-esteem is below six feet of coffins under ago
when you'd think a parent would try to raise it to the ceiling

i'm tired
I dont know what to do
the battle rages on
some days I don't feel strong
when I give another reason to move out
you keep asking why I dont want to stay

you'll let "him" in
whoever that may be
but the love of a daughter
I know you'll throw away.
