you woke me up from the nightmare
i was lying in your soft mattress
you poked my side with your finger
until i saw the black sunset
next thing i knew
it was you on the floor
your eyes were fixed
to the knob of our door
it was the end of
a chapter of my youth
turning every lie
into a cold, ruthless truth
it was day after day in the hospital
you were the hostage, we're the criminal
you were no longer able to speak a thing
as a child, i was left wondering
next thing i knew
it was you in the coffin
you were beautified
like an old moviestar
and as the credits rolled
the family came tumbling
every knot you tied
every day was untangling
next thing i knew
i don't even speak to daddy
i pass him by and
he's just like everybody
and i really hate
my brother he reminds me
of my ex boyfriend
who used to beat me
