"How lovely is sun after rain, and how lovely is laughter after sorrow." -African Proverb


From beyond the grave
You still haunt me.

From beyond the grave
You still terrify me.

From beyond the grave
You still invade my dreams.

From beyond the grave
You still make me doubt myself.

From beyond the grave
You still hurt me.

How can I forgive you,
You the monster,
You the oppressor,
You the violator,
You the cause of all my hate?

You stole my childhood from me.
You made me grow up to fast.
You treated me like one of your women.
You provoked me constantly.
You caused me to hate myself.

The cards are in my hands now,
I am free from your unjust rule.
I hope you’re burning inside,
Knowing you lost
This vicious game I never agreed to play.

You spent six years digging your grave.
You are dead to me.
