to see you without hate
would be a miracle in itself
for years i have wondered if its possible though
the memories i have of you are too dark to forget
sometimes they take my breathe away from me
almost leaving me gasping for air
its as if my lungs have been punctured
to see you without hate
sure would make life more pleasant
it would almost be like living in a dream
a dream where my mother actually loved me
took the time out to talk to me
took the time to say she has missed me
for the past thirteen years
but i know the truth
to see you without hate
would mean i was never scared of the dark, dad
i would be able to trust
i would not be so quick to duck when a hand was raised
i would not be haunted by your rage
i would not have the scars on my arms
i would be able to sleep better at night
but the cloud of hate sucks me back in day after day
for 18 years now i have been trying
to turn the dark into light but not for you anymore
i'm afraid
oh no you don't deserve that
you deserve to have all my hate thrown at you
so you may not breathe at night
so you can have your insides pulled out
wouldn't that be nice?
to see you without hate
how funny is that!
