Guilty

Just a little louder,
One notch will do
I would have it up all the way
But it's late now
And Daddy,
He's trying to sleep.

I don't need it much brighter
Just turn the knob to the right a bit
Just enough light to scare out the darkness
That found refuge within my mind.

I sit numb in front of the TV screen,
It's blaring so quietly now,
And it's dullness is blinding
My empty eyes.

I guess it can't get loud enough
Just not quite. bright. enough.
The voice still finds it's way through the darkness
To whisper so loudly through my ear
That maybe
It was my fault.
