You never know what you have
till it's gone.
One day, you'll say the same about me
But then, I'll be done
with your lies and charade.You formed me
yet
you relish in me being broken
Dancing with glee on the jagged bits.
Soon it will come
the piercing pain
of me leaving
and this time,
never turning back.You made me
yet
years flew by
without even a shadow of your being
All that was left then
was me and a pack of wolves
who devoured my innocence
made me wish for death.From your cursed loins
came my life
yet
you wish me a painful demise;
death by my own hands
puppeteered
by the sickening bouts of depression.From your escapades
I came to be
Yet
you taunt me
thinking I can not speak,
that I am completely broken
adapted to your well played facade.After all these years,
you show up
banging and tearing down my door.
Expecting me to get along
with spawns
from your persistent, careless and despicable loins
to love them
as if I knew them once before.
Dearest father,
if you are reading this
know that I am gone,
and you are completely dead to me.Sincerely,
M.
