Dad Died

You left me when I was small I felt you didn't care at all You sold your love like a cheap whore And turned into a fat bellied bore You betrayed my childhood trust Exchanging it for Alcoholic Lust. And now that you've no values left Just pissed them away,like all the rest Of the filthy lonely sad old sots With ragged clothes and holes in your socks And now that I'll not play your game you cannot admit to any shame , so lame. So 40 years on here I stand Fists of rage and hatred , both hands Punching out the light of my pride , my truth , myself still denied. You lied and you cheated so now fat and depleted,eyes a shallow grey pit a lonely old git , in a deeper pit. Don't ask for my passion , nor fret for my love you've no worries now Dad I'm free as the dove. I hold no resentment Nurture no pain I never needed your respect there was nothing to gain I stopped caring how,stopped caring why stopped bothering to cry no more pretend,no more love lie. I stepped on your memory,then pissed on your name, Then it rained on that stain and washed it all away. Father Oh Father You've finally,everlastingly, made my day.
