The lies we tell our children.

we solemnly believe.

knowing the intention

the wound still bleeds.

The lies we tell our children.

that the abandonment

won't always sting.

that dancing in the living room

is a profound thing.

Wonderous minds

we refuse to kill.

with the lies we tell our children

daddy still belongs to hell.

The truth we don't tell our children

is not bringing the tears.

all it does is silence the fears.

the truth we don't tell our children.

doesn't exist.

The lies we tell our children.

that we solemnly believe

knowing the intention

the wound still bleeds.
