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.
