A/N: this one is kind ofsloppy. i couldn'keep it in the same place in my head so it kind of went all over. and i did it for scool so i was pressed for time.


I used to love you but that time is long gone,
I used to love you but then you left me all alone,

You used to be sweet and nice to me,
You weren’t someone I hated, you were just daddy,

Once upon a time we were all so happy,
Once upon a time I was in a normal family,

It wasn’t long ago, not that far behind,
But now the hatred I hold for you can be seen by the blind,

I wish you would stop tormenting me,
Tormenting me with with memories,

Memories of days gone by,
When I was completely happy just seeing butterflies,

Why can’t just let me rest,
The choice I made was for the best,

Where have all the angels gone?
They helped us get back up, pushed us along,

Tension blows like the wind,
Infesting the Earth to no end,

Thoughts of hate seep through the cracks,
Attacking the ones with turned backs.


yeah it went everywhere. i started with an idea for a "bad dad" poem but i ended up with something really different.
