Asterion watches helpless to intervene
left inside a dark cave he listens from afar
creatures lurk in shadows but suddenly appear
out of the lateral canthus of my left eye
how in an instant blood broke from my lower lip
only my father knows why he used a backhand
little to do but drive home where I left my dad
in tears I walked over to my friend's house to ice
shut my split lip and calm my nerves in an instant
measured plans for revenge locked away in a drawer
Desks full of memories hide long lost murder plans
except vengeance never even crossed my mind then
simply put twenty years and a geographic
to displace a motive plus zero involvement
resets the karmic clock to forgive and forget
only my father's death wiped the bloody slate clean
yet my mom and brother cannot forget my shame
sins of omission no return before his death
