You killed me
Sing softly to me,a sad lullaby,
reminiscent of bygone times,
I, too old too soon.
Those tainted childhood memories,
that I hold like a lamp to my darker hours.
You always shun me, every chance you got to do so.
And I, always loving, always yearning, never holding a grudge.
I never understood your wrath and disgust.
And now, after all these years, the light getting dimmer,
you tell me to go from here,
to leave it all behind and live my life alone.
And I, with such dread, too old too soon,
wonder if I deserved such a curse from somebody I love,
trying but failing to see where I stumbled so irreparably.
And you, turning your face once again,
a look of disgust marring your features,
leave me in this mud I have been lifelong,
wondering why you never wiped me clean like you were supposed to.
Life for me is just a dead end.
After you, life is meaningless.
You gave birth to me,
but how I wished you could also give life to me.
You only killed whatever life remained in me,
no remorse and no regret.
I should never have been born.
