Rivers run deep
With thoughts I once chose to keep
Secret.
I knew you couldn't keep it
Hidden for long.
It was once only a song
I chose to sing,
But it became a lie that would continually ring
In my ears.
I wasted so many years
Trying to be good enough
For you,
But I don't want to anymore.
I've shut the door,
But I have not locked it.
You can come to me anytime,
But I will no longer run home to you.
I found the little girl I left by the rivers.
She almost drowned,
But I chose to save her.
I'm taking her back from you now,
For you did not keep her safe from the monsters.
But that's okay.
You didn't even know they were there.
