Wretched

You screamed self-defense— then struck again. “You’re a terrible father.” “I’ll abort him. You don’t deserve us.” Your love wore a mask: well-polished, church-approved. But behind closed doors— fists, threats, other men. Not sick. Just cruel in a godly disguise. You never spoke of commandments. Keeping one would’ve meant telling the truth.
