Cut me to ribbons
We're falling like shreds
Tear us apart
You couldn't care less

Happy isn't here
Now it's just fear
All night I taste tears
Misery is the atmosphere

Do you see what you've done?
This just isn't right
There's no longer love
I give up the fight.

This is one of the many ways I've tried to get out some emotions while my father is leaving my family.
