Chapter Text
when you left me
i was only nine
i had asked you what was wrong
you'd said "nothing, sweetie, i'm fine"
i held on to your cardigan
when i lost it, it felt like you were gone again
had you not understood the cost?
suddenly, a young child was unwashed
i cried, tears seeming to have no end
why couldn't that have been my end?
i thought i was brave, reaching for the gun
finally, this would all be done
but a doorbell rang, interrupting me
"jason, i forgot my key!"
he screamed at me, he was drunk, i could tell
i wanted to tell him to burn in hell
but nonetheless, i opened the door
i was not surprised when he quickly passed out on the floor
