Words Like Daggers

What I see in your eyes

Is selfishness and lies

What I hear in your voice

Is the refusal to make a choice

What I hate most of all

Is that your drunk when ever you call

What I notice thats not so strange

Is the fact I know now you will never change

What I believe will come of what you do

Is that our relationship is almost through

So many things that you wont show

Simple little things about me you SHOULD know

Your words are like daggers to my heart

Slowly, painfully ripping me apart

I'm sorry, I love you mean nothing anymore

There just words thoughtlessly kicked around on the floor

I can't say your forgiven and I love you too

Because I honestly don't know if the words would be true.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

Even though he's my father..I don't feel I love him anymore. I have a great deal of resentment towards him for everything he's done. I don't think I will ever trust him again. It's hard to recover from a time when your so impressionable, you believe what ever they tell you good or bad.

Another poem I can fully relate too. It's sad that we write poems about these things, but in all honesty it's happening in our lives and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. Venting out our anger,and sadness by poetry about the parents who don't know how to be gives us hope sometimes. It calms us down.
