Can not lie
I've searched my soul to
come to this point.
Old mermories come to surface
I can not
ignore.
You planted the seeds
and the seeds you destroyed
Along with my heart many years before
The support you had, where I had none
money talks, thats how it was done.
The lies you told haunt me today
the pain that you caused will never go away.
They say what goes around comes around and
you reap what you sow.
Even your own mother regrets what she has told.
Your temper was short ,your manner was mean
you held such anger and took it out on me.
But I still have feelings of a love that once was
I know you do too, even though you cover it up.
As far as a father you gave it your best,
I envy the time you had in the past..
Now you need a letter, A letter of truth
And the truth is, I can not lie.
