Child's Play

Hey there little lady we have indulged in your world    
I believe the time has come for you to play in mine      
No you can't drag me through this guilt ridden sand like your toy      
Beneath the surface the monster lurks that I try to keep buried      
Look up where blood red pain & gray thinking paints the sky      
Hatred black as thunder & sorrow white as lightning      
Can you taste the tears these scar tissued clouds hold?      
Can you feel the bitter cold you had left me to weather?      
Can you see the undying love that you have eclipsed?      
Has this atmosphere of my mother nature become to real?      
      
Fantasize, All the good times your memories have projected      
Fantasize, All the bad times & believe you have been rejected      
Run, there is no tomorrow & there is nothing wrong with you      
Run, away from your problems like you will continue to do      
       
Run,play,swing, & hide behind the fiction of your family tree      
While your playing hide and seek I have been sharpening this chain      
The saw is my voice of sight to cut into the heart of suppression        
As I cut the branches they bleed green not any real compassion      
Is this the infectious love what you have entranced yourself with?     
The leaves have become so withered begging for rain      
All of your tears won't resuscitate this tree of woe's pain      
The big bad wolf prays to feed in these red riding woods      
Douse the infection with the fuel of lies it breathes      
Burning down what haunted me & a vision of emptiness I carried      
       
Deny the blood you bleed is not for personal gain      
Deny the emotions I suffocated on so I dont leave you in pain      
Hate the substance I abused while you abused me      
Hate the world  Oh Fuck it! You loved me in misery!      
       
Hate goes so far which brings us to this broken home in this haunted forest      
A place I came back to, to reclaim the innocent child left abandoned        
Sorry it feels empty, wiped my fear,denial, & anger off the floor      
Step up to the bathroom,watchout for the shards of glass      
I had to shatter the mirror to view it oh so clearly      
If I arrange & glue these pieces differently you could reflect on you      
As the shadow of you scares you toward the closet that is my heart      
No monster or Wolf in here, just the boy with tears of regret      
As I tuck you into this bed of rose's, I will shackle your fantasy of love to my heartbeat        
I kiss you on your forehead & I stutter goodbye
