Tom is not the father

Tom is not the father
No Love, No Affection Plenty of Misdirection
No Love, No Comfort, No Embrace Just That Constipated Frown Face
No Love, No Warmth, No Lullaby Only Screams That Split the Quiet Sky
No Love, No Talks of God Everything a Total Fraud
No Love, No Connection, No Family Meals Just the Cold Ache of How Rejection Feels
No Love, No Safety, No Sheltering Wall Just Waiting for the Fists to Fall
No Love, No Quiet, No Place for Dreaming Just Constant, Nasty, Demeaning Screaming
No Love, No Truth, No Others to Bother Only the Narcissist and Her Secret... Tom is not the father
Tom is the Father
Yes Love, Yes Affection Plenty of Clear Direction
Yes Love, Yes Comfort, Yes Embrace Just That Contented Smiling Face
Yes Love, Yes Warmth, Yes Lullaby Only Whispers Beneath the Quiet Sky
Yes Love, Yes Talks of God Everything an Honest Nod
Yes Love, Yes Connection, Yes Family Meals Just the Warm Ease of How Acceptance Feels
Yes Love, Yes Safety, Yes Sheltering Wall Never Waiting for the Fists to Fall
Yes Love, Yes Quiet, Yes Place for Dreaming No Constant Nasty, Just Gentle Beaming
Yes Love, Yes Truth, Yes Others to Gather Always the Mother and Our Secret... Tom is the father
