No Choice
I didn't want to cut the rope
I wanted you instead
But daddy torched my innocence
Placed a gun up to my head
My naivety was gone
12 years is not that long
I fought and screamed and tried to run
But I was not that strong
You see little one, I would never want you dead
I would have rather killed myself than killing you instead
You see mommy has no money
Mommy has no home
And mommy doesn't want you living here when you would be alone
Cause you deserve a heaven
Not a bleeding broken home
I never meant to make you hurt
I know I crossed the line
Just know by taking your life
I was really taking mine
I'm crying on the staircase for the life we could have had
I wanted a life so bad with you
I wish you had a better dad
As I'm opening this bottle
I know we can make it through
I will never leave again because
I'm coming home
To you
