All of these years

All of these years

All of these

years you have

act as if I

did not belong to you.

Telling people these

lies all of this

time but when

you need someone,

you turned to me first.

You did not

want me with

you and there is

no proof that

I was part

of your family.

Now it is

as if you need

me with you.

All of these

years you have

nothing to do

with me and now

you are like

that you have

been wrong for

so long.

All of these year

all eighteen of them

now something has

happen and you have

asked to come back.

I have tried to

forget my past

but I am facing it again.

All of these years

of pain coming

back to me

in this moment

of time.
