A chain ended
At daggers drawn with no discharge in animosity
Berated and mocked regardless of my actions or intentions
Cant take much more, hell I'm 27
"Dont take it mate", bite that bullet
Everything i hoped, friendship, closeness
Fond memories few and far between
Granted, i was not abused or physically neglected
Had it all, school trips, gadgets, want for nothing
I wanted affection, like Nana's but from you
Jealous as you are of her, your actions never reflected
Kindness to all others, the scraps for us
Liked by few, loved by less, you dont realise your loss
My childhood was happy, but missing one element
N'ary a maternal bone in your body, for appearance sake only
Older i am, the more i accept
Past grievances aside, you should have broke the chain
Quit the pattern, resentment and hurt
Resonated down to me, so it falls to me to halt
Stop! I insist enough is enough
Too much been said, your scoff was too much
Under my care my babies wont suffer
Verbal and physical affection and love flows in our house
Wont poison my home, never again will you cross this threshold
X X X on every card i give them, a thought out verse so theyll never doubt
You will never know the hurt you caused but it ends right now
Zipping through life cherishing them always, if only you had done the same
