The Lie That Lost A Life
By Iwas
Why Father, did you tell me real men dont cry? Now awkwardly watching
as a harder man then I, Flows wild raging rivers forth from his eyes, while
mine remain sandy barren desert dry.
Why Father, did you say
"show no fear"? Now breathless and tired I can barely hear, Your loud booming
voice screeching hoarse in cheer, as I nail his stomach with a poolstick
as my makeshift spear.
Why Father, did you teach me only hate?
Now I stare across the table at an empty and clean china plate, Recalling
how the candles used to flick shadow to dance on the face of my heavenly
mate.
Knowing full well the consiquences of relizing this way to
late.
Now I swell with fear of the future.
I
begin to cry clumsy and silent.
Slowly to relinquish the hate that
binds me.

Beautifully captured. Left me pondering a little too much.

*sighs*...
how can you say of yourself(on your profile page) that you know little of writing??? when your words here... show otherwise... your heart knows life poetically and thus... your soul writes it out painfully beautiful....

I really related to this poem...only it works better for me to replace the word father with mother. Either way, I understand it.

Hate is a very heavy and sometimes...maybe often..an unnecessary one. Well written. I hope you come to see that it is a lie about not being able to show emotions ~Ash
