I can't place a name for this

by Ezra   Oct 19, 2011


A mother
a father
a brother
and
a sister

someone always leaving
someone always working
someone who wants nothing that he has
someone who hates us all

this is my family, the only one i know
they always leave, I'm always hare alone
I'm the garden of our den
the guarding of useless toys
and silly things of no great importance

i watch their backs always moving away
my sister, my sister
the one who taught me to walk
i have your face and hair
yet you still say, we aren't blood

i watch and watch, i wait even longer
my brother, my brother
i have your jaw and almond eyes
you once clamed to by my guardian, my soul protector
yet you still lay no clam to be my blood
instead you wait for me
to say your dreaded words

always waiting, always watching
my mother, my mother
the one who stole my heart
i have your voice and attitude
yet i don't know your face
and you know nothing of me
but my name and existence

you see me as an item you can take out
show me off like some silly little Doll
and i see you as some little piece of light
drowning inside the darkness to your own delight

I'm always watching and never moving from my given place
my father my father
can't you see me here?
i look just like you
i have your cold brown eyes and empty face
i often stay within my own little world
ignoring everything but waiting for those like you to see

I'll always be waiting,
I'll always be watching
for this is my job, my responsibility
this is why I'm here, this is why I'm standing here

my brother and my sister
why must you be blind to the darkness all around
my father and my mother
why must you ignore the shadow that Plegue this place

am i the only one who can see the damage coming?
am i the only one who can see the tears of those too lost and blind to see their way out?
am i the only one who can see what is coming?

I can see the fighting
i can see the cheering shadows
i can see what you pretend isn't there
so why do you not believe me when i say
they'll only drag you down?

I'm the 10th child conserved to you my mother
but i am the 3rd one borne
i used to believe that i had to by your shield
that i had to be patient and with time you would see

but now I'm tired, so many years have gone by
and never one did you let me tell you witch way to go
even when i knew the way
i used to be a shield and then i changed into your sword
but still you never carried
only yelled at me for you mistakes

but now I'm tired so very tired
I'm tired of waiting,
I'm tired of being patient with you
I'm leaving your side
I'm turning my back on you
just like you did so many times before
how dose it feel
now that I've returned the favyor
i did to you, what you did to me
i know it's not right
but I'm so tired now
i can't wait until i can rest
when i can finely close my eyes for sleep

now i don't have to worry
the monsters within the shadows
can't get me here...

here i can sleep forever
and never have to worry for you again
