My favorite one ever

What's it been? Over a decade?
It still smarts like it was four minutes ago.
We only influenced eachother totally.
We only bruised eachother even more so.
What are you my blood?
You touch me like you are my blood
What are you my dad?
You affect me like you are my dad.
How long can a girl be shackled to you?
And how long before my dignity is reclaimed?
How long can a girl be haunted by you?
Soon I'll grow up and I won't flinch at your name.
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name.
Where have you been?
I heard you moved to my city.
My sister saw you somewhere down town.
I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you.
My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again.
What are you my God?
You touch me like you are my God.
What are you my twin?
You affect me like you are my twin.
How long can a girl be tortured by you
How long before my dignity is reclaimed.
How long can I be haunted by you?
Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name.
So here I am. One room away from where I know you are standing.
A Well intentioned girl told me you just walked in
This girl knows not how this information has affected me.
But she knows the color of the truck I just drove away in.
What are you my kin?
You touch me like you are my kin.
What are you my air?
You affect me like you are my air.
How long can a girl be tortured by you?
How long before my dignity is reclaimed?
How long can I stay haunted by you?
Soon I'll gropw up and I won't flinch at your name.
Yeah, soon I'll be strong enough and I won't ever flinch at your name.
