Father And Daughter

Listen to poem:

The bond between a father, and daughter, can’t be blocked, taken, or stolen 
You can try, but it’s not yours to have, you can never understand the notion

You can smirk, even laugh in my face, live off my own destiny and emotions
Wear my clothes, walk down the street enjoying my life and your promotion

Others may be blind to it all, not understand my grief, but it is not your story
Knowing there’s nothing I can do without being told I’m jealous of your glory

So I wait ever patiently on the side lines, I’m waiting on the day that you fall
Until then I’m watching you thinking how you took my father, as had the gall

But you are just another sad soul who thought on my happiness had it made
Thus in your cruel calculated way, were out to make sure, I was made to pay 

So, my answer to you is take it, enjoy it, whilst you can with your false heart
No more the anger within me, as I now amuse myself on this unnatural farce

Repeat . . . 

But you are just another sad soul who thought on my happiness had it made
Thus in your cruel calculated way, were out to make sure, I was made to pay 

So, my answer to you is take it, enjoy it, whilst you can with your false heart
No more the anger within me, as I now amuse myself on this unnatural farce

I detect some sadness in your verse, I hope nothing has happened to your father Tom Login to Reply Indiana Shaw Date: 8/12/2024 5:50:00 PM Ello Tom, my Dad is in his 80's and still working, I'm beginning to think he is a storm trooper, it's me that's in a pickle, I just can't explain it all, so it comes out in my poetry . . .
