Father Time

I blame you for every worse that I assume.
I lie awake with the thought of being someone’s wife
Thinking about the chances of how easy he can fuck my life,
All in one night, if he chose to do what you do.
I’ve gone after guys that remind me of you, causing me to feel alone and abused.
Thinking that I belonged to someone like you.


I can’t help but to villainize the nice guys.
Who treat me right, because somehow in my mind,

they’re still going to turn out just like you.


I look into the mirror and catch sight of the little girl that you vowed to protect

but you never did because you chose one-night stands, booze and all the good things to make you escape the pain of not being man enough to do the job.
You got mad at mom when she tried to move on and you threaten to take me away

and to this day, I can’t even get a reply back but I’m glad you didn’t because now

I know better than father time.
