Why? (For Dad) (Free verse) by Jarah
Why do you always bring me pain, Why do you have to be so vain? You act like you care, when others are around. But in truth, You'd rather be lying six feet underground. I wish you wouldnt lie to me. Just once please keep a promise. You always say not today, Maybe tomorrow. But with you tomorrow never comes. Im afraid i have to give up. Why cant you just let go of the beer cup? Sit down and talk with your family. Oh, i forgot you'd rather give birth analy. Your supposed to provide. we rely.. u must die.. the only way you'll ever give us what we need.. is when we get down and beg on our knees.. well were sick of it now.. so just go away.. maybe you need to go stay, at one of your 5 star hotels.. 3 star motels.. something to just keep you away. I know your still the man you were.. deep down inside.. where did you go? why are you always lookin at me through the bottom of an empty bottle.. the only time your eyes arent glazed over.. is when ur on a job.. even then ur snortin ur money up ur nose!.. Well guess what!?!? IM SICK OF IT>> IM NOT GONNA TAKE THIS BULLSHIT.. JUST GO AWAY UNTIL THE DAY U CAN RETURN A MAN.. AND NOT SOME DRUNK, DRUG ADDICT, WITH A KNIFE IN HIS HAND.. IM SICK OF UR THREATS.. "IM GONNA SLIT YOUR THROAT".. YOU KNOW SHE SAVED UR LIFE THAT NIGHT... WHEN U FELL ASLEEP WITH THE BLADE IN UR HAND.. U COULDA ROLLED OVER AND DIED.. BUT SHE LOVED U ENOUGH TO REMOVE IT WITH CARE.. SO YOU COULD CONTINUING TORTURING HER.. AND THREATENING WITH YOUR EVIL GLARES... now i ask you one question... ........................................... ..........................................why?
