With my darkling

It's sad
I have lived this
woke up to it every
day

Have you?
you could not possibly
understand

How they will hate you

If you don't back off now

they will know
it was you
in the end

they will rebel
"we want to live with Dad!"
I will not encourage hatred

but you will feel it

And I will always say
"mom loves you, she thought she was right"

and they will learn
by themselves
how much anger you bore

and I will always take
the high road

and let them stay out a little later
and have a little more fun
and give them all my love

and you will find out
how little minds work
and regret
the day you started Jihad
over revenge
and seeded it in the hearts
of our girls
