Yes, now we see you’re vindictive

Yes, now we see you’re contradictor

Yes, now we see you’re restrictive

Yes, now you see I’m predictor

Punishing your own child

just to get to me

Happy Birthday, Unicorn Girl,

My love will always be

I tried to send you email,

your mom has cut the cord

Poisoned every well and

every plowshare turned to sword

Just like her half-brother,

at the end of the day

Stuck on buried resentment and

rage because I sent her away

Still doesn’t get it that it was

always better for her that way

Still don’t understand it was

that historical Solomon play

Gave it up in ‘23 because

twenty-one years of spite is enough

You used avoidance

and withdrawal to hurt me,

so yes, now to it I am tough

I kept on returning,

as I said I would.

Every two years as promised,

and then since as I could;

always a spare room

just in case you needed

always told you too,

oft was it repeated

No amount of trust

can repay deception

Repeatedly you’ve lied

Gaslit to get attention

Now you’re an MFT

living your ‘perfect life’

but I’ve seen underneath it

we both know that’s bull-shite

But sure let’s pretend it’s all me

and let’s say you’re always right, too

as I said before, I will live my life

be just fine you living yours, too

you can stop cutting, congrats,

you made it all the way thru

I temporarily housed you with your father,

to assure your food and housing safety

while I consulted on the road.

Your father placed you with the wino,

resulting in your choices,

your trials and successes,

your own future, as all things possess

all their lives until death

If you’d ever listened and helped

you’d know you weren’t abandoned

false memories have literature now

you perhaps should review it

Since you refuse to review receipts

or listen to third parties who could testify

But cutting the grandkid’s email

was still a low ugly thing for a human to do

true colors shining through

like I don’t know where that [ … ] rage lives

like I don’t know what it can do

you’re creating your own tears

only in future will you see it too

But sure let’s pretend it’s all me

and let’s say you’re always right, too

as I said before, I will live my life

be just fine you living yours, too

you can stop cutting, congrats,

you made it all the way thru
