Dad

My heart has always been soft,

But you made it softer,

For you were the bully,

The antagonist,

All my Life

 

When you were gone at work,

I used to miss you,

But now I don't

 

If you die,

I don't think I will cry,

Your harsh words and angered actions,

Always left me in the dark

 

You now put out false emotions,

For your heart is made of fire,

And all you do,

Is spread that fire,

To my brother

 

You hurt my mother,

So deeply so,

That she was never truly happy,

Always sad or angry,

Until she started getting a divorce

 

Your girlfriend slept over,

Why should I be tortured,

For I am your daughter,

Who should come before her

 

You have bought me items,

But they can not buy my love,

They only buy my disgust,

For the actions you have made,

Toward my mother

 

My mother never did anything,

To suggest you are bad,

Only said the little of good,

That can be said of you

 

Though I still love you,

The love is waning,

Like a rose that sheds tears,

Like those you gave to my mother
