mounting tears in my eyes
when my daddy hung himself
i didnt get to say goodbye

after mommy overdosed
and we were all that was left
when my daddy hung himself
he saw her after his death

maybe he couldnt deal
maybe it was me all along
when my daddy hung himself
i sat down and wrote this song

choking on his own flesh
the veins swelling in his face
when my daddy hung himself
severing his spinal cords base

i kicked the stool from under him
i stand here an orphaned child
when my daddy hung himself
well,it gave me a smile :)

Hey! Wow. That was extreamly emotional and truly sad. This was a very good poem and you expressed yourself very good. Your almost like me. When my dad killed himself, I never got to say goodbye. I thought that it was me that he didnt love anymore, or couldnt handle, so he just left and didnt saygood bye. Im so sorry this happend to you. GOOD POEM

wow, i love the ending! Reading through the poem it seems like you're so sad about it and then at the end, you wanted it. Awesome. I really like this, great way to twist the poem around. Keep writing!
