Forgetting How to Love

Forget my name, Forget thy child, Became a fear, Of so many more, You expect me to cheer, But you leave my soul sore, Growing this pain, And feeling numb, While being trapped to far under your thumb, Forced my hand of cards, Shown the small heart, Watched you rip it apart, And take the crown, Killed love to replace with lust, While lust turned to rust, And rust to dust, You see in my eyes, Forced hate for a man once loved, Killed too many thoughts to be beautiful, Followed like a soldier, Dutiful, Yet the only thing you call me is pitiful, You were supposed to be loving, You were supposed to care, You were supposed to be a father, You were supposed to be there, But instead you tossed this card aside, To throw out who you once knew, But you taught me how to love, So I'll teach myself how to forget you.
