You told me how you went through so much pain in your small life of 18 years
You told me what your tiny 10 year old eyes witnessed
Something that no one should ever go through
You told me how your dad got in the claws of one of the worst sins
Alcoholism
And how that was the start of so many more sins
You told me how you saw your mom suffer with those tiny eyes
How you tried to protect your mom
At such a young age and succeeded
You told me how karma got your dad
You told me how you saw your mom fight thru the pain for 8 years and became the strongest person you knew
That night
You told me everything
Everything that was good and bad
