In another life
I never wouldve abandoned you.
Emotionally or physically.
I wouldve been strong enough to endure.
Without a moments rest.
I wouldve never pushed you away.
Never gave you a reason to doubt.
A reason to look away.
I wouldve never left your side.
Or grew apathetic to your cries.
So used to your lies.
I wouldve been strong enough to endure.
For both of us.
In another life our son would have survived.
I wouldnt have let them slip you those drugs.
And break your water.
Cutting off his oxygen supply.
We told them not to.
And never got justice.
The final straw that broke me.
It was my duty and i failed the both of you.
Leaving you alone.
Overdosed on fentanyl.
Our son fought for his life for thirty minutes.
Drowning in your blood.
While you were unaware.
While they said it was fine.
They told me to leave and i did.
That alone is enough for me to deserve this reality.
I tried once again to kill myself for that.
But i havent yet been granted my release.
I happily except the ending written for me.
In another life i would have opened up to you.
Like ive only ever been able to do on these anonymous posts.
And we couldve shared our pain together.
And endured.
But instead, i cowered, and ran.
In another life we lived happily ever after.
Me, you, dante, vero, and marianna.
Somewhere on a couple acres.
With a bountiful farm and fat chickens and goats and cows and horses.
A family compound away from the drugs and violence and perversion.
Everything we dreamed of.
In another life.
But in this one.
Im but a sinner.
Who could never see past his own pain.
Until it was too late.
If only there was a soul who understood me.
But I’m the only one who deserves this suffering.
I, alone.
Cant help but wish to be seen.
For once in my life.
Im only human.
And so i leave snippets of my soul.
Scattered about.
For wandering eyes.
And lost souls.
As much as i wished it was you.
Who could finally see me.
I know I’m the last thing you’re looking for.
Finding comfort in the arms of another.
Raising my son without me.
As i slowly fade away.
Making peace with my mistakes.
I gave my all to you long ago.
I have nothing left to offer.
But my life.
In the hopes that your pain can die with me.
And you can find the happiness you deserve.
After everything you’ve been through.
Everything i put us through.
This is what i deserve.
For all my sweet words and good intentions.
Ive always been the villain of the story.
From my parent’s divorce.
To the many i have lead to pointless deaths.
I am a failure.
Who couldn’t save his own son.
I couldnt protect you.
Or my baby brother.
Or my mother.
I can barely walk straight anymore.
My vision worsens by the day.
Unfocused and blurry.
Dizziness and blackness eating away.
The few i have saved don’t nearly balance the scales.
And yet my greatest desire is to one day reclaim the love and trust you had for me at the start.
Before i let them tear you apart.
What i would do to see that one more time.
But youre so far gone.
Happier than ever.
I would hate to disturb that.
For a moment of happiness.
That would bring a life of pain.
It’s better this way.
Id rather be hated than mourned
I never deserved love anyways.
Cursed from the start.
Ive always been alone.
I should just accept my fate.
Any day now.
I cant take this pain any longer.
Bring me my salvation.
Let evil burn as i do
