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
