Patrice Trice Jackson Poet Free verse

Hardened Heart

Your thought not to hate
But why I hate you so much
Lord please come into my heart 
My heart has hardened
She left me 
Left me with the boys
I loved her
But she loved the bottle
Smoke
Party 
Streets 
Friends
She was unloyal 
Had my questions DNA
But my genes run deep
Lord bring forgiveness in my heart 
I want to break her down
I wish she drop dead
No I don't 
Lord help me please 
How could she
I wanted to be family 
Be a man 
Do right by her
5 years no calls
Letters
Visits
Now you expecting again 
How dare you 
Lord bless her soul
Will you abandon
This one
I pray not
Lord take this hostility
Out my spirit
Take it out 
This built up anger 
Remove it
Lord my heart hardened

-Patrice Jackson and Ricky Jackson
