I don’t know whether you know this-

But you did not have to strip our dignity from us.

I don’t know whether you know this-

But you are capable of so much more.

I don’t know whether you know this-

But we gave you our hearts, souls, and families…

Time which cannot be returned.

I don’t know whether you know this-

But we truly cared for it, and you.

I don’t know whether you know this-

But you destroyed all that.

I don’t know whether you care-

But you burned a million holes into my heart…

And soul, and…

I don’t know whether you will ever understand this-

But thank you for giving me the life I thought only existed…

In my dreams.
