Letter To Mum

I see his eyes in my dreams
Black as the ace of spades
I used to cry each and every night
Knowing how he hurt me

Knowing how i cried
I didn't think it would affect my family
I just did what was right
I let him in

I let it continue
But it all Went on
I let it for her
She held me close

Said she was sorry
But why she was I'll never know
She was strong looked after me
It took all this time

Time to say
I forgive him
And its not your fault
He has an illness

He doesn't hurt me
He wont again
I got off easy
Look at the others

They hurt more
It only lasted a short time
Look at me i turned out fine
I love you Mum

And I love my dad
I am a strong person
I love myself
I may get down

But hey it's just life
No more blaming him
No more tears
All through my life

I'll know i did this
I did it for you
I wanted you safe
I was protecting you

Don't be mad
Don't be sad
You have me
And I have you
