Back to You

Just hearing your voice, saying "daddy come home,"
Cuts like a knife all the way to the bone.
I'm slowly consumed, by self-hatred, and guilt,
Shameful despair, is the house that I built.
It tears me to pieces, to be gone so long,
It takes your picture to keep me going strong.
Never again will I leave you, nor will I forsake,
I'll give you my best, so your heart I won't break.
I despise every moment, that we spend apart,
There's a jet black abyss, in the depths of my heart.
It takes all I have, to keep myself sane,
Because it hurts so bad, to cause so much pain.
I'm dedicated to change, it's what I must do,
To get my life back, to get back to you.
