Casualty Of Circumstance

Casualty Of CircumstanceĀ
I tarnished your evil desire to hate me before the saints of steelĀ
I knew your skeletons were about to blossom from the dirtĀ
A garden of unkept secrets kept the anguish aliveĀ
Trapped in an inferno of your own transgressions you tried to extinguish the pain by blaming meĀ
I never engage with wounded preyĀ
You despised what I have become and continue to transcend intoĀ
I am not the same boy you used to knowĀ
With respect I must decline your invitationĀ
To still pity you after all these years aches with insanity but heals with accomplishment.Ā
The bitterness you inhaleĀ
Itās a toxic paradox trapping us both in a game neither of us know who startedĀ
I refuse to keep watching over youĀ
Playing the mother to a childless soul hurt more than pretending everything was fineĀ
I had to be the father I never knew to a son who was a casualty of circumstanceĀ
You may have put me in your thoughts but I was never really in your prayers.Ā
Yes I miss the days when there still was this idea of normal for youĀ
That was never the objective when it came to meĀ
Why am I always the survivor?Ā
I stopped asking that question when you finally admitted your failuresĀ
You now and always will have me to look at as a casualty of circumstance.Ā
