In Minor






I am letting go of the ghost haunting my every move

I refuse to be kept down in this state of surrender




Abandoned, then solely living as your failure; I have a scar

It is time to put an end to its searing pain




You asked me why I was quiet

I watched you inject yourself with the virus to slow down your thoughts

If only I was enough to lull you back into a sound mind




You asked me why I wanted to be alone

I looked towards you; I only see two pools of black wander aimlessly

It scares me how everyone says I have your eyes




You asked me why I didn't invite anyone over

I lost sanity as I tried to drown the sounds of your perpetual sickness

I will never let them see you weak




You asked me why I confronted you

I am now better than your forlorn attempts to ignore my developing mind

I can't stay quiet for much longer




You asked me why I slammed the door

I need space; you know all about that; your darkened room was always too exclusive

I can't let you deny me the seclusion you longed for, as I once longed for you




You asked me why I was never home

It wasn't long before a surge of wisdom was bestowed upon me, I became restless

Universal power recalled shadows that once lingered over my presence




Born a woman of perplexing splendor and endearing love,

You treasured me in your own dysfunctional ways




Worn away by the wicked of your time,

Nothing could have prepared you for the birth of your first child




Demons chased after you, If only you could shine

A light such as yours could have been detonating to your inhibition




I live as the only witness to your blockaded heart

Still, I search for the mechanism to tear down the walls that kept me away




You asked me if I loved you

I feel you everyday

Together we form the same minor song

Echoing through the winds beneath us
