Screaming Whispers

Although I cannot see

I know your there staring at me

Your charming eyes burning a hole in my head

But not one word had you said

I feel your touch under my skin

Your hands your mind seeing within

Your presence unseen but known

Not a shadow had you shown

I hear your words inside my head

Taunting words wishing I were dead

Sending through me a horrible chill

Then again maybe some day I will-

Die like you want me to, all your wishes finally true

Fall liflessly,unexpected,to none other then you

I feel you here by my side

Deep inside for a way out I silently cried

Your pleas for suicide all have taunted

Once said and done isn't that what you wanted?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A conversation I had with my dad one time when he was drunk, all silences put in to feelings, down on paper. Everything he wants me to do silently said to me in a faint hissing of his breathing over the phone. I wonder why he still bothers to call maybe to see if I'm still alive or to keep making my life a living hell.

wow, this poem is quite powerful. know exactly where u are coming from. Although I dont talk to my mother at all but i still know the feelings u might feel. Sometimes i wonder why some so great as u get the bullshit parents we always hope u never get. Im in that same boat and it sucks. But I always know I have great friends that will always be there. And the same is for u. :)
love a friend,
