I Blame You!

I blame you! For all the hatred in my heart That also seeps through my soul And I cannot hide it For it sits on my shoulders For all the world to SEE. See? If only you COULD see Then maybe you would have tried to save me From the things no child should ever have to ENDURE. Endure? Yes, I have endured more in one year Than you will ever in a LIFETIME. A lifetime? Plus infinity is how long it would take To make up for the ABSENCE of yourself as a father. The absence of you? Is what will give me the strength To never allow my child To FEEL abandoned As I did Still do And always will. Feel? You cannot feel OR, If there were a bond You would feel my heart breaking everyday For the love of my FATHER. Father? This word will never exist to ME Because YOU do not understand the meaning.
