Dearest Dad

By PoeticMindBlow

Drowning in the sea of emotions,
Trying to tell you my latest devotion.

Caught in the shadows of your lies,
You are the one I truly despise.

You thought I would tell you all my fears,
But in the end all you caused were tears.

Dearest Dad whom I wish to see,
All I get is my reflection staring back at me.

Watching from a distance as I slink slowly,
Waiting for someone to call me as I grow lonely.

Dearest Dad why are you farther away,
When your here you say you can't stay.

- Dad, come back to me?


In The Midst

Walking with temptation in the eyes of betrayel,
Knowing I was something, And knowing I had failed.

Crying to the wind with a voice of silence,
Broken ribs, Shattered heart mind of violence.

Tell you all my secrets tell you why I hide,
Tell you why I told all these stupid lies.

Scared to be alone, Scarred with torment,
Beaten with acussations and ugly resentment.

I know I messed up in the past,
And I knew that our relationship wouldn't last.

I cannot change the way I did things back then,
And i'm not asking you to be my friend.

Caught in the whirlwind of tomorrows,
Finding a better way to be who I am.

    i guess i really don't know what to comment, now. this makes me think a lot, like driving without a radio. i don't even know what my dad looks like, and i have a half-brother that's my age. it's a weird feeling. love/hate

    My father happened to be an alcoholic, and I picked up drinking over the years, Recently.. tho. I decide that it wasn't my only way out.

    well i am much honored by your proclomation of love, but might I inquire to the reason. This poem is double edged in a sense, maybe its just me, but alchoholism isnt involved is it?
