I wrote this at the beginning of yesterday, probably around 3:00 a.m. The title is quite simple really... I made a post on here ages ago, and the post was some lyrics I had written about my wonderful mother... In the post, I said that I plan to never write another lyrical work about her and the effects she had (has) on me. Well..., this is a retraction of those words, because after saying that around a year ago, a new situation has spruced up many thoughts of the past, her, etc... I guess not writing about this shit just kinda' kept it festering inside... But anyway, that's the reason I titled it "Retraction", and it's less symbolism and all heart. Here's what I penned...
"Retraction"
I know I said I wouldn't
write about you anymore-
you liar, cheater, b**ch, negative whore.
But I can't lie.
I still feel you inside,
when you show
me the reminders of the path;
your endless ways, as a wrath,
I still sustain.
I still sustain.
I still see your ugly face.
(Chorus):
When I hear you speak to me;
everytime that I'm around you,
you're the one that I can't love.
You're the poison in my blood.
When you try to bring us closer;
when you push down on my shoulders,
I just can't escape this.
You're the one that I despise.
You're a disease that eats my mind.
I still sustain.
I know I said I wouldn't
write about you anymore-
you hater, abuser, destroyer, judgemental c**t.
I cannot lie.
I still see the haunting sights.
As I meander beyond the path,
those endless days, they bring me back.
I still sustain.
I still retain.
I still see your crashing face.
(Chorus)
You are the wrath that I sustain.
You are the fracture in my frame.
You are a loss I can't replace.
Somehow I still can't shake you.
You are the reason that I breathe,
though you're the one who strangles me.
You are the one who blocks release.
Somehow I still can't break through you...
(Short musical arrangement, followed by a Double Chorus)
I still sustain,
and now I'm writing about you again.
EnD
If this is taken offensively by anyone, in any way, understand it's not meant to offend and I cannot be sorry about the words. It may seem brutal, but there's so much that has evoked these feelings and that has caused such anger in me. Truth is one of the harshest things in the world, and writing is the only outlet where, I feel, one should never hold back... Later! |
