Abusive Love.

by ElegantlyWasted   Feb 25, 2005


I reach for another bottle,
To drown away the pain
Of all the countless days,
My dad drove me insane

One mouthful for the words,
That rolled off your tongue
Did you even care, Dad?
Was the abuse just for fun?

Another for the laughing,
You did right in my face
Even after all i have tried,
You still stare with disgrace

I'll swallow one more for the tears,
You ignorantly made me dry
Because every hit you planted;
Would hurt the more I'd cry

I'm almost half way through,
Yet my story still incomplete,
As i remember all the nights,
You would knock me to my feet

The bottle now is empty,
Like my dying-selfish heart
I just wish you could have smiled,
Instead of ripping me apart.

Your car is driving in -
Now the slamming of the door
You yell out to go to sleep -
Your suitcase drops to the floor

So again Dad, i will hide,
And let you have your way
I will listen and love you always,
Until my dying day.
=======================

... My love for him is unconditional, yet i hate his guts? So much nothingness ... sorry for it's poor quality ...

    Hey you commented on 2 of my poems I do the same! Extraordanairy (did I even spell that right?) as always! You definitely have a style and mood of using your words all your own. Again, another poem I can relate to. LuV Ya=],

    it was again a good poem, not poor at all....but as i told you before, you have to do something to stop that father of yours! never love the ppl that don't love you back! stop letting him break you on the inside!
    stay strong! *hugs*

    You really managed to capture the essence of your emotion...I appretiate that as it parallels my own.
    It may be hard to do this at this time but accepting that your father is obviously hurting from something may help you: it does not lessen his crime but you can become more than him by forgiving him. If you love him, just try to let him know it, and know that you will be stronger for it. I hope your life becomes something you can be comfortable in. If you need to talk I am here.
