There Is That Hand

There is that hand around my throat that you don’t seeKilling everything inside of meAnd takes me to a place of emptyWhere there’s nothing left for meto be I am grey and dark and lonelyNothing human, just my bodyA hollow shell, but always readyTo please the one in front of me There is that hand around my throat that you don’t seeHe takes my life away from meMakes me hate my mind and bodyI wish he would just let me beme That hand is you, daddy And after everything that I’ve been throughI can’t even be angry with youBecause you took that away from me too
