Dad

A dark cloud envelops me An evil presence within Running, crying, trying to hide Escape non-existant Bruised and battered The beatings were normal His poison was drink Succumbing to the beast, greeting it warmly Needing, wanting, there was no control I am two from one My disorder is known My life is in ruin My brain a mess Even through death his legacy haunts me Despair, anger, solitude We loathed him, feared him Through all that was and all that will be I loved him dearly and always will.
