Dad.

I love you.
But you don't love me.
Ever since the accident.
The thing that tore me in two.
I will never be the same.

Never to smile the same again
Never to laugh and play.
Always to sit in my room.
In my room to cry.
Cry and think about what you had said.
Your a mean man.
And we all know it.
you don't care about us.
Your own flesh and blood.
Your own children.

All you care about is that stupid girl.
That stupid girl that you call you wife.
But yet you aren't married.
All you care about is her children.
Because she makes you.
She is trying to make you turn your back on us.
And it is working.
Cause you no longer love me.
And I no longer love you.
I will never love you the same.
After those dirty words came out of your mouth.

Those words that made me cry.
Those words that made me depressed.
Those words that will live in my heart forever.
With hate building up on it.
And soon or a later those words will kill me.
Or they will make me kill myself.
I will not do it.
But I can only dream about what it was like before all of this.

Before the words I said slipped out of my mouth.
Those words of the truth.
The ugly truth.
That made you mad.
So mad that you said that.
Those words will soon kill me.
Kill me out of depression.

The words that slipped our mouth.
The words that will always be in my heart.
Right next to the picture of you burning.
On fire never to be put out.
You just don't understand that I don't love you.
And never will again.

One very long poem but I am going to go through it piece by piece third line first stanza I believe you meant to use "since" and not sense yes line 8 second stanza ou is that you I would suggest condensing these lines those words etc and all the never and poison suggestion Never to smile Gone is the laughter No more will I play ========================================== Now you try the other two I realize you are trying to emphasize these points but to see them over and over becomes distracting sky this is only my opinion know that.

Breaks my heart skye

I read this and I feel your pain, as I commented on another person today I know what you all must go through and by writing it out I am praying it is helping you in a way that your soul will never die, your pain to subside someday and know that others really care for you both you know. What would dad think if he had to read this or you had to read it out loud to him, could you or would you. Your so sweet your poem is packed with emotion so deep and so true and I like what Poe says also as repetition is what I have to remember also, and has helped me along the way. You keep on writing and you also tell rain she is loved also. Talk it out write it out shout it out but also remember it is GOOD to get it out too. Keep up your writing skye lady lovemagics02 xoxoxoxo "Determination Brings Success"
