All those nights

Do remember all those nights?
the nights i would scream out your name in horror,
all those times i would cry at the sight of your face,
and all those days i cringed at the sound of your name?
sadly, you may not but i will never forget.
i will never forget the day you took my innocents from me,
i will never forget the day i realised something was wrong with how i was treated,
i will never forget a single thing you did to me.

I remember the night mom left the three of us at home,
and i screamed for her not to go for i was scared to be with you,
i remember you chasing me to my room you would say it was a joke and i was laughing,
i would correct you that i was crying and running for my life.
you cornered me in my closet and beat me down,
i remember my sister screaming trying to distract you,
nights like that i will never forget.

remembering nights like that scare me,
make me regret ever calling you friend,
make me regret ever calling you family,
and most of all ever calling you dad.
but now i am over and passed it,
i am still haunted by those nights,
those nights that will never leave me,
and i know that all those nights will eat you alive,
but now there is no one to pitty you,
but i will be okay.
