Unknowingly
Entered into a different state of mind
What if your words were true
And life would be worse
Knowing and loving you
And everything
And everybody
That I hold close to me
Wouldn’t even know me
Desperately grasping
At every possible timeline
Not sure which one is mine
Unknowingly
Gladly provide forgiveness
Speak though all the treachery
The reality knows me differently
Holding onto emptiness
Fostering hateful thoughts
Just to unleash them willingly
To any hateful human being
Transposing everything about you
Literally to them
There will be no remorse
Not even hesitation of thought
Unknowingly
Provide you control
It was amplified
By every single being
Promising beliefs I needed
Gullible the first time
Open minded to a cure
I know your name
But I will never say it
My seeds will never know you
Not having you abandoned them
Like I know you would do
Unknowingly
Persevering every opportunity
End the cycle of a father leaving
The men in my paternal lineage
Just did it so routinely
Dropping seeds quickly
Stay around long enough
Just in time to germinate
Never see the fruit of the labor
Never know if I’m really of you
I don’t even know you
