Not my home but a house
Not daddy but my father
Now my blood's ran dry
Ever since the lights went from your eyes

My once paradise is now my prison
A single white dove now two black ravens
On two gnarled shoulders
Always watchful
Always vengeful

Will the sun ever rise
Will the scars ever fade

Not a daughter
But a stranger

Thank you so much! I'm still really small on here, and no one ever really comments on my work.
