The Wish

Your family ties all cut.

Was I such a small sacrifice that I wasn't much to lose?

I don't care if you were sorry

I don't know if you knew you should be

I just wanted you, Mommy

I just wanted you back with me

I just wanted you back with me

Was I such a small sacrifice

that I wasn't much to lose?

Did he steal you from your life?

Is that why you allowed such abuse?

Is that why you allowed such abuse?

I wanted to forget all the pain

from the years of our past

I wanted to forgive you even then

though you never even asked

He is always there in the dark and light

you just can't get away from him

is that why you can't lay with him at night?

always reminding you of your life

The sounds of an old creaking house

your family ties all cut

the feel of his breath at your neck

doesn't that wrench your gut?

Your life was filled with such a mistake

would you even leave, if you could try?

doesn't that make your heart break?

and do you sit alone when you cry?
