daddy issues


you watch the pain caress my face

you watch me hold back the tears

that you failed to embrase 

what I couldn't help but hold dear

you threw away like it never mattered

now my heart is so far apart

and my thoughts are so scattered

and you think you did your part?

you broke me so frequently

you yelled you screamed

and you told me it was my fault

that you broke my self esteem

you made me feel lucky that it didn't escalate to assualt.

now my eyes are so filled

with tears made of salt

your supposed to be my dad

not make me feel this sad.
