Poem

The plates break in
The dishwasher
The sound extremely
Loud in her ears
‘Dad, please calm down’
She’d say yet he’d ignore her
And carry on

She’s standing in his office
Paint splattered on carpet
While he refuses to make her
A new room
‘Dad, what is wrong with you’

When she learns how
To ignore him in the future
He starts talking
‘Dad, could you please be quiet’
He replies
‘Watch your tone’
And she goes silent and stiff

When the screaming and yelling
Gets too loud in her ears
She screams back at him
‘Dad, calm down’
‘Dad, what is wrong with you’
And over time she just says
‘What is wrong with you’
And
‘Leave me alone’
For the first time he’s silent
For the first time she sees
Regret in his eyes
For the first time he sees no
Tears in hers

She doesn’t have to ask 
Will I ever be good enough for you
She knows the obvious answer

After while, she’ll return to him
And he’ll say the usual to her
His eyes turn cold and distant

The tears will return to hers
When will she ever learn
She’s better off without him
He’s better off without her
