The Love of a Father
A fathers love,
the love
that is pure.
The one love
that never dies.
Never leaves you rotting,
isolated
from the world
trapped
in your own mind.
Or…
so they say.
In truth,
a fathers love,
is an austere love
The one love
that breaks.
The love
that rips
through your heart
like a knife
in the hands of a murderer.
Leaving you cold,
lifeless.
The love
that leaves you,
searching
for your lost
soul
as you stand surrounded
by darkness.
The love
that destroys
a daughter.
Before her life
begins.
A fathers love,
the love that is true.
The love of the only man
that never wants
to hurt you,
never wants
to leave you
drowning
from the icor
flowing
from your poisoned
pierced heart .
The love that has no intent
in making you
the victim
of the falling blade.
Or...
so they say.
In truth,
this love is malicious.
This is the love
that condemns
you to a life of suffering.
Worse
than the fire
in the deepest depths
of Tartarus.
The love
that gives
your heart the eternal punishment
of Prometheus’.
This
is the love
that leaves a child
so disturbed
not even her demons
dare to play
The love that tears at her very being.
The first betrayal
in a life full of many.
A fathers love,
the love
that last forever.
The bond that stays
despite the demons
in your soul.
The love that withstands
the monotony
of life
The love
that sets the standards,
for any man
who loves you
after.
The love
that knows your worth,
Or...
so they say.
In truth,
a fathers love is lost
when things get tough?
It's the love
that leaves you
thinking
you are worthless.
Shattered,
beyond repair
The love that shows
you
are unworthy,
of the love of any other.
Therefore destined
for a friendless
forsaken life.
A fathers love,
the love
that never dies.
The love that test time,
so they all
say.
In truth,
the melancholy love,
of a father is never lasting.
A fathers love dies
when the high is over,
the bottle empty.
Nothing more
to care for.
