If I were to see you again
If you were to look into my eyes
Would you see my fear?
Would you see a lingering tear? Hesitating,
Waiting for the moment when you yell through gritted teeth
Waiting for the hand of fate to deal its hefty blow
Would you know? I doubt it
Do you remember the times we'd cry ourselves to sleep?
Daring not to make a sound, not a peep
For we knew we would be punished
Do you remember your hand striking at every opportunity?
A closed fist, a belt. I doubt it
If I were to see you again
Would it all be forgotten?
For you a new life, new memories
Well good for you
We are left with scars deeper than those of the flesh
Engraved in our hearts
Our every thought
YOU killed our childhood and part of our souls
I hope youâ??re happy
For you have taken something
Which we will never be able to regain
