you don't hear my cries
you don't see my pain
you stay silent in your pretend world
drifting in and out of reality
a slumbering beast
hidden away in his dungeon
leaving me to be your responsibility
since when did your 7 year old daughter turn into your mother?
i cry
as you drink away your troubles
mind turned to mush
your eyes
a gaping void into nothingness
your heart
aching like a beaten dog
lifeless and numb
what happened to you?
where'd you go?
now you're this sad faceless man
a hollow shell of who you used to be
a shadow
