Broken Home: Part Two

It's now five years later  

She's now a teenager

She told me yesterday

You turned her gay.



She was my only hope for a grandchild

Now, there is no hope.  She's so wild.

I can't stop her from doing drugs or anything

I don't know what tomorrow will bring.



After you touched her and felt around

I hope it was worth a stone in the ground.

I'm finally out of jail.  It was three years

When I saw her, It brought happy tears.



She met a girl.  Her friend's really nice

I can't believe you went and fucked up her life

I guess my mother was right about you

You are one big fucking loser too.



I made mistakes that I payed for in the end

I am happy.  I think I am ready again.

A guy asked me out, he seems really grand

Yesterday, we walked and held hands.



His wife left him for some drunk guy

When he told me, he began to cry.

I told him about you, told him I would come here

I just prayed talking to you wouldn't bring a tear.



I touch your stone, so cold... like you were

You don't know how bad me and her hurt.

We're all happy.  Got a new place

We'll no longer look at your face.



I didn't ask for this.  You brought it all on

Then, the love of my life was all gone.

This broken home has been put together

This guy might be really forever.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is just about a broken-home. I pictured the whole thing in my mind, like a horror film... so, I began to do some background information.  Soon, it became more like story than a poem. The begining: Their life was great.  Had a house.  They got along... had a baby girl.  Everything was like The Brady Bunch.The middle: The guy started to drink constantly.  So, he got fired from work.  The woman started to work, leaving the girl at home... big mistake.  She thought the guy wouldn't come back home unless she was there.  He started to beat her... so, she would do EVERYTHING to hide the bruises, cuts, and scars.  One night, she came home and found him in the middle of raping her daughter.The end: She killed him.  Went to jail for three years, just because they understood her crime and position.  The daughter turned gay... like any raped girl might do.  The woman finally went to see the gravesite.... that's pretty much it....This is not a true story.
