Burned Roots

I close the door,

but the floorboards creak With the weight of the words we never

speak.

You were the one

who was meant to keep me safe

Instead you left

a cold and hollow place

A mother's shadow

in a darkened hall

You built your fortress just to watch me fall (watch me fall)

And they tell me to let it go

They say time will heal the blow

But the scars run deep,

the truth is clear I will never hold you near No,

I won't

forgive (never again)

They talk of healing

like it's an easy choice

To hand a monster back

her quiet voice

You did your worst

to your own blood and kin

And now you want the grace to let you in

(no room left)

Some lines are drawn in stone

Some bridges burn to ash

You left me there alone

To carry

all the crash (all the crash)

I won't forgive (never) I will just live (without you)
