I was the light you had to vanquish Just like your light once was For I was too much like you To ever earn your love I’m sorry for what you went through They were wrong to take your smile But being haunted by your own monsters Does NOT give you the right to be mine.

A father’s betrayal
I was the light you had to vanquish Just like your light once was For I was too much like you To ever earn your love I’m sorry for what you went through They were wrong to take your smile But being haunted by your own monsters Does NOT give you the right to be mine.
You became the monster under the bed. Never will I do to my children what you did to yours.
