This silence chills me,
Mind and soul,
Your words cut so deep,
A wound you left to weep....

Tired of crying these pointless tears,
I close my eye's and pray,
I pray for a way,
Somehow,
A change...

Thinking over all those hallow years,
All that I gave,
Knowing the lengths I would have went,
Just to save you,
Supporting your empty lies....

Enduring all the hurt threw in anger,
All the times I stood by your side,
A river of endless hope I'd cry...

Looking into your eye's I'd search,
Hoping to find some truth,
Fooling myself time and time again,
Believing in you,
Having faith....

Desperately trying,
Needing my father,
I worshiped you,
Admired everything you were,
But you just hurt me,
Pushed me away....

You took who I was,
And destroyed it,
With all your hate and anger,
You corrupted my innocent world,
You made me afraid to think,
To breath,
Or even smile....

You left behind a legacy,
A legacy of pain,
So many unspoken truths,
Undiscovered wounds,
Bruises yet to heal,

Jay~
Such sadness evoked me while reading your write. I felt your pain, suffering, hatred and anger. In order to move on you need to forgive your father. It doesn't mean that you'll forget, but forgiving heals your heart heal.
A very deep emotional write. Wishing your heart healing Jay~ Thanks for posting it~
big warm hugs n heartfelt prayers,
Sue M

When I was little my dad spoiled me. I looked up to him and I had a very hard time dealing with my mom leaving him. But he was too far gone at the time. He was an alcoholic, a drug addict, and he used to beat my mom and sister but never touched me. Instead he had me watch him beat them. He moved out of state and It took me 14 years to forgive him and finally see him again. I wrote a poem about it called "For so many years" And now I have taken a step back and looked at it from his point of view and thought about the situation he must have been in at the time. He must have felt unworthy of my love and felt it was best to stay away. Not that it excused his behavior but I wanted to try and think of all the things that he might have felt or been going through to make him do what he did. And now he is a totally different person. He is the exact opposite of what he was and I wish he could have done that when I was a child but it just didn't work out that way. And I have learned to except that. I hope that one day you will find a way to deal with your pain and heartache because I know how hard it can be. Take care.
