IT ENDS TONIGHT

His shadow of shadows intertwined in my skin
A hard silence, dinner table, who dares breathe

I have put you from your actions but I cannot no more
I’m not in love with my sadness or the consent in silence
All the excuses for your uses, how you solve it with your solutions
response, automated but I have not a crumb of comfort
Me I took, child we make, start on him, it’s the end
For the state, if I wait, the violence, escalated
Violence besets violence; in violence I own your silence
I will have survived you
I will have survived you
I will have

As before, returning, drunken breath, careless steps
In your sleep, no mouth to weep, shackled hands from below

Wake up, it’s a kitchen knife, surprised, you said it was my place
Said I was a disgrace, well feel the burn, feel the slice, feel the twist
Now welcome change, its your blood, your face deranged
What was that, a whimper now, be the man your Daddy taught
Be the man that welted me, wounded me, burnt me
That scolded me, sat on me, raped me, tore me
Be a man, to the end to your last breath
I will have survived you
I will have survived you
I will have

It ends tonight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight

I have survived you
