I never knew

It broke my heart
that i never knew
why didn't you tell me
what your father did to you

you decided to give up
and killed yourself with your daddy's gun,
and you left the world
knowing that he had won

i read your note over and over
the story of his sexual abuse
ever since your mother died
he's been using you

now i understand
why you never wanted to be alone
and why you wanted to stay with me
and not at home

I'm so sorry sweetie
i wish i could have helped you
but i couldn't
I'm sorry i never knew

we went through the same things
battles of abuse
i was supposed to go first
but instead it was you

* i wish i could have written this better, R.I.P Krista*
