Childhood Truth

Little darling, come here my sweet.
I won't hurt you.
I won't betray you.
I won't neglect you.
I promise. I swear.
Cross my heart and hope to die.
Never in a million years did you once love me.
Spinning,turning, whirling around and around.
All those lies.
All those halfhearted truths.
Do you know that my blood runs red?
Do you know the fakeness of the faux smiles?
Do you know who I am?
Truth be told true,
my body is marred,
my mind is twisted,
my heart is black.
Yet...
There has been plenty of secrets on my part too.
You just don't know them.
You pray to god.
You curse the devil.
You found love.
What happened?
Was there ever...
Me and you?
You and me?
I miss your embrace.
I miss your smile.
I miss calling out to you and you answering in return.
Where are you now?
I stand alone on my side of the road.
You crossed over with all the others.
Who has my back?
Who shall love me for me?
Do you know who I am?
I can't remember the happiness,
only the fear,
only the hate.
I miss you,
I miss me.
Return to me...
all my love;
all my joy;
all my memories.
Return to me my true smile.
Where are you now-
Father?
