Untitled

You walked in with a face I’d never known

A story in your eyes that chilled my bones

You said you were the piece I’d been missing

But all I saw were cracks in your vision

You’re a stranger in my blood no place in my veins

You brought storms to my sky only cold rains

How dare you think forgiveness grows on this ground

I built walls where you shattered what I’d found

You left her alone to pick up the shards

While I grew up in a world jagged and hard

Your name meant nothing

Just static noise

I learned to love with someone else’s voice

Did you think your smile would mend all the years

Erase the silence

The heartbreak

The tears

You call me daughter like it’s your right

But love takes years

It’s not won in a night

You’re a stranger in my blood no place in my veins

You brought storms to my sky only cold rains

How dare you think forgiveness grows on this ground

I built walls where you shattered what I’d found

I don’t need you to claim what I am

I’ve been stronger without your hand

You left a trail of scars I had to climb

This heart’s been hardened by your lost time
