Hello, dear one,
we meet again.
It's been so long
since the last time our eyes met,
downcasted,
and hidden our fears.
Can you recall this face,
these vains that carry your blood?

You seem so weak,
so helpless, lying there.
You look like I felt,
so small, watching you walk away.
Why don't you stand up?
Walk to me,
take my hand,
decieve my soul.

What's that,
you're unable to walk?
Your legs are weak,
your spirit is broken,
your liver is failing you, like you failed me?
So now you know how it feels,
to be crippled for life.
To be afraid of vulnerability,
afraid of being exposed.

Don't look at me like that,
like I struck you across the face.
I'm only telling you what you already know,
but refuse to believe.
After all those years,
now you want my blessing?
Now you want your child,
now I'm your baby girl?
You threw me away,
like a piece of rotton fruit.
Trash day came and went,
it's too late, honey.

I am my own person,
not only a piece of you.
You hold no power over me,
I don't need you to feel loved.
For the way you have treated not only me,
but everyone around you,
you deserve to die alone.
You deserve to be left to fend for yourself,
left for the scavengers of the sky to feast apon.

But you will never be left alone,
I will always protect you.
I will tend to you,
clean your wounds,
help in any way I can.
If you shall die,
it will me with my hand in yours.
Tears of mourning blinding my eyes.
I will never hate you,
because I am better than that.
Because hate and regret only cause more pain.
Because I love you.
