No More
Why do you look at me that way and follow me from room to room?
Don’t you know you are not welcome anymore to touch and tease
and to groom?
Don’t raise your voice at me- not here, not now, not ever
I am but a stranger to you – Now that I walk in my grown up
clothes
The past is gone, I am no longer a child, and you no longer
have any power.
You took advantage as you felt you could, just cause you
were bigger and in charge
You pretended to give us things we didn’t have
And somehow that made you believe-
That you had the right to do as you pleased, no matter what
we might or might not need.
I know better now, not to trust you, even when your voice
says I should
Even when you pretend you are better, while living in your
own deceptive world.
You never thought about Now, or when the truth would eventually
come out
That would show that you took some ownership, something that
I highly doubt.
You are not so clever, so step down off your high horse you
fool.
Your time will come soon, where you will have to answer to someone
bigger and greater than you.
Try to talk yourself out of that one- and convince HIM of
your intent
See if the lies are as easy to say, when your last lifeline
is spent.
All I have for you is pity, I barely even have that.
My life is mine despite your pathetic advances
And how you end up is no skin off my back.
