you left.
You left.
 
 You practically left me to die.
 
 I tore myself up in the inside.
 
 I thought each day to myself
 
 why?
 
 My heart felt like it jumped off a cliff.
 
 And died a painful death. 
 
 My world had been destroyed.
 
 2012 had hit like hurricane Katrina  in
 
 the south side. 
 
 My world had been pummeled 
 
 beaten to the core.
 
 And you just sat there in your cell
 
 waiting to come home.
 
 And finally you did.
 
 You didn’t stay long. 
 
 Not even enough for me to sing my song.
 
 Obviously meth was more important.
 
 More important than me.
 
 I sat there and cried
 
 while you got high. 
 
 I watched you fall 
 
 Down
 
 Down
 
 Down you went.
 
 Then you started climbing back up again.
 
 You’re trying to enter my life again.
 
 But I don’t know if I’ll let you back in.
 
 You had your life on track
 
 But then you met that filthy sack.
 
 She was worthless I say!
 
 No job, no career, not even a penny 
 
 to her name.
 
 The only good thing she had 
 
 was my half brother. 
 
 And even he deserves a better mother.
 
 Dad every time I let you back in,
 
 You kill my heart again.
 
 I don’t know if I can trust you,
 
 can I? 
 
 Or will you rip my heart out again?
 
 My heart can’t break
 
 Because it wasn’t even whole to start with.
 
 No matter what I do,
 
 I cant manage to say.
 
 “Dad there are two ways.”
 
 The right way, my way,
 
 Or the way of death.
 
 Horrible sins, and gangs that attack.
 
 Which way will you go in the end?
