Tell him I tried
Tell him I give up
And I'm still not okay
3 years old,
I watched on
As mom fell to the floor
Violently sobbing
Love is gone.
7 years old,
I listened on
As mom and dad fought
Screams, tears and pain
Love is dead
11 years old,
I waited for
The fatherly hug
That came no more
Love has fled.
17 years old,
Not good enough
I was told by all
And I'm still not okay
