Haunt

by Trinity Rayne

Why is it me you still haunt?
You only disappoint
Why is it me you still taunt?
Like we're still attached at the joint
I can't seem to cut the cord that binds us
Even though I need to
Memory after memory reminds us
Of why you don't need me and I don't need you
Our family was broken from the start to end
Love was also an unfamiliar and distant stranger
We only broke each other's heart and fought to defend
Our family that was toxic and full of dysfunctional danger
Memories with you still haunt me day and night
They haunt me like a ghost
Memories with you still hurt and bite
Why couldn't you be the dad I needed most
I wish it all didn't haunt me anymore
I want it all to go away
I wish it would all leave out the door
I wish it all didn't haunt my mind on replay
