Murder of a Relationship
Murder
I killed three people yesterday
I know exactly when,
I used no weapon formed by man
I killed them with my sin
A mother, daughter and a son
Whom I’d sworn to protect,
I didn’t see their pain filled eyes
As they felt the blows connect
They never saw it coming
As I cruelly took their life,
A son, a daughter and their mom
I wanted for my wife
I loved them all, or so I said
At least when I was straight,
Yet not enough to stop the dope
So I guess you’d call that hate
I could have been their hero
I might have been a dad,
Instead I left a tragic mess
That was so much more that sad
The mother was my princess
And I, her shining prince,
It ended with a phone call
I’ve mourned them ever since
Sissy was a shining star
Whose smile would light a room,
Her laughter rang within my ears
Now silent as a tomb
And little man looked up to me
Hoping for my love,
Apathy and silence
Was my gift to that dove
An unsigned letter
Full of lies and a smattering of truth,
Was all it took to kill them
From grown adult to youth
Betrayal in the utmost
Was all I chose to give,
When all I had to do was love
For all of them to live
I’ll regret it always
And I’ll miss them evermore,
As I scream and cry and wonder why
I walked right out their door
I killed my family yesterday
I know precisely when,
I used the cruelest weapon known
I murdered them with sin
