Shell of a Father

Why must you make her weep? Why must you be a sloth? Why must you be a disgrace? Why must you be a poison? You may have helped give life But do you show real love? Do you truly value family? Or do you just put on an act? The precious memories created The good and the bad The times you were there When I came to advice. There may have been the good times But behind the curtains lies the sinister The ugly truth thats been shrouded Until the light pierces through the shadows. The love you gave to her Was nothing, but an act A false marriage you gave her Robbed her of a Happily Ever After. Sloth of a man That is what you are You may show love But do you know What true love Really is, father? I may love you As any child would But my heart breaks To see mother cry. The example that you show Isn't a lesson to be learned It is tainted and despicable Laziness and apathetic It's just pathetic. Your a disgrace Your a waste of space Your heartless Your lazy Your horrible Your nothing. How can I look at you Straight in the eyes If you treat mother To take the load While you half it Never seeing it through. Do you see your family As a burden to you? Why must you vanish For two hours a day Morning, Noon and Night Just where do you go? Your a poison to the family tree Seeping into its roots To kill us all from the inside With your slothiness and lack of morals. How can I proudly call you dad If I see mother crying in despair From the pain and isolation That you give her everyday. How can I trust you Should anything happen That you'll know what to do Come time in the future When faced with a crisis? I don't know if its your personality Your brain going on the fritz Succumbing to Dementia or alzheimer's But your too afraid to admit That your losing yourself. What kind of human being Can you be who lacks emotion? Who doesn't know the meaning Of partnership or family Nor what true love is? Just what kind of man are you? Who only sees housework and teamwork As some big chore that disrupts your day? Family is all about teamwork. So if you want to lay in bed All day long after driving a bus From morning to noon with weird hours Doing half the chores around the house Rewatching your old shows on loop Like you were stuck in a time capsule. Then go ahead Sleeping all day Is almost like being half dead Because you don't feel alive Your just a hollow shell of a man Half dead that walks amongst the living.
