When I end up leaving
They deserve a goodbye,
A mile long essay of
All the who's what's and why's

But I just want to leave
The writing of a sigh;
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
For always telling lies

I screamed and screamed and screamed inside
My tears a plea for it to stop.
Every time, I broke inside
But he noticed naught.
He loves me I'd soothe myself
He loves you the voice would chide
Things will get better, this won't be forever
But never was it love that he sought

I hope you can forgive me for the scars on my skin

and the way I could never forgive myself.

I hope you can forget the words I never said

and the way I never begged for help.

I’ve never felt so hollow, never felt so wrong.

The days may grow cooler, but the nights just grow more long.
