• Awake at night,
    Eyes heavy with deceit,
    The pain you caused me,
    Ties the loose ends of – my feet

    And hands, are numb from
    The tip.
    The pain you caused me,
    Made a noose from your grip

    Around my neck, I wear a locket.
    Reminds me of the past when
    You were my hero, dad,
    Those days when I felt I could burst

    Out, crying for you in the rain.
    You abandoned us.
    The pain you caused me,
    Marked the end of your marriage and

    The remains of friendship,
    Lie sickly in bed.
    The pain you caused me,
    Never eases or drifts off

    To sleep, with a mind so fragile
    As mine is impossible,
    The pain you caused me,
    My “hero”,

    Is called murder.
