Fear overwhelms me
As my forgotten past
Reaches to the surface
And decides that, at long last
I'll remember all those feelings
When we left that day
Oh my god, I'm sorry
Was there no other way?
I was told not one thing
I thought things were fine
Daddy stayed at home,
And I didn't realize 'til time
Decided to pass us by
That things were not all right
Why did we leave daddy?
What if I wanted to stay?
Without mommy there was no screaming
Why'd we have to go away?
He's still there, I know he cared
There was no need to shout
He loved me and I left him
With that I had no doubt.
I didn't understand
This stranger took me in
Why'd she make us leave our home?
What was his greatest sin?
And why could you not tell me
What was going on,
Instead of lying to my face
Pretending you were strong?
