Atonement
I've waited many
Years now
Trouble followed on
Behind, sensing
Ever often
That one of you
May soon decline
I saw as my
Wife died, your
Hands that
Burned her skin
Peeled her nails off
One by one, to
Find out where
I'd been
My child captured
That day, because
Of what she knew
But you could
Not imagine
What I knew that
She could do
One look, so
You're aflame
Another burst your eyes
I'll see you deaf
And blinded
Your heart explode
Within your chest
It's you
I so despise
I taught her not
To do this
Keep that thought
Controlled, so she hid
Inside the cupboard
And her Mother
Never told
My powers, all
But gone now
I still sense
You near
My girl is just
Maturing, she's stayed
Free & clear
Yet when I'm gone
I'll set her lose
To see her
Metaphoric noose
In tortured ways
I'll see you dead
When I'm with
My Wife again
My heart now trembles
Slowing, pain rakes
Through my chest
I call to her to finish them
Make them pay
For what they've
Done
She speaks in
Calm words
Down the phone
Father you now
Must Atone
My brain in searing pain
As they smash open my door
I know now it is over
So I kneel down on
The floor
Finally their gunfire rains
It sounds to me
Like rushing trains
Screaming tears
Echo from the receiver
The line goes dead.
