Sins of Thy Father

While time has aged the memories are still sharp in my mind.

I feel your presence in the shadows, lurking while hiding. 

You belong there. Hidden from the light.

Knowledge of your sins kept only between us.

Memories of your touch at such a tender age.

I use to fight but that quickly faded. My small stature no match for yours.

So here we are, grown with only the memories.

With me creating my own light now. A light from within.

A light with the knowledge your sins is yours to bear.

But with the knowledge you are always in my shadows, lurking while hiding.
