Butchering Words

In the beginning

 

Your butchering words,

Went through my head.

 

As a child who listens,

To every word you say.

 

Your constant sarcasm,

Your words which,

I thought were the truth.

 

Just to let you know, Dad

Those butchering words,

To me are now worthless.

 

For I know now,

It was only your sickness.
