Burning the Egg
The black clouded sky hangs over my head and isn't easily lifted
 It's been too long since I've seen that sun
 Too long since I even had the strength to look up towards the great fireball of energy
 
 Memories of my past come flooding back, filling my head with the disgusting
 and nauseating memory of you
 Your cold, controlling hands around my waist and somehow they just keep going
 Lower, lower
 While I lay there in utter confusion, with my 5 year old innocence being taken from me
 Slowly, slowly
 And you don't stop when she comes home, and notices what you are doing
 No one stops you 
 So you just kept moving me closer to you
 Closer and closer
 Until the only barrier I have to myself, is broken through and used
 
 Now that I'm old enough to realize what you did to me, I feel I am suffocating even more
 Head spinning, palms sweating
 The visions of you and everything, come back for the moment
 And once again, I am no longer living in the present, but in the darkest part of my past
 Someday I hope for the strength to let go of your burden of being
 Battered and brusied
 Someday i hope for the courage to tell someone about you and
 The day you burned the egg
 And everything that really happened
 But for now I'm stuck in this web of lies and denial
 With a head filled with shame and remorse
 
 It seems, it can't get any worse
