The way a father loves

???.

Love
A hand in the air
Coming closer
And placed on me in aggressive hit
Love
A flying object 
Closer yet again
And placed on me in yet another aggressive hit 
Love
An excuse not an apology
Love isn't it 
Love
If it were love I'd be unable to love in the same ways

    I am so sorry for your experiences. No child should be treated this way. Love is often misinterpreted by abusive people and confuses our thoughts on love. A heart wrenching poem.
    sending love

  • L. B. Mek

    that these words, depict
    not only
    the morose reality of your Past
    but
    the portrayal of someone
    living through such a hellish
    experience of childhood
    at this very moment n Time
    is Why
    I respect
    the sincerity of write's
    like Yours...!
    we must all, Share
    so another May learn:
    that they
    are not alone;
    They, are not
    in the wrong;
    and that
    their days of misery
    will have an end
    someday soon!
    and then They, too
    may one day, be
    the ones
    sharing and helping another
    Survive!
    that ill-Fate of Life...
    (I laud your bravery
    I appreciate your poetry
    and champion your strength)
    thanks for sharing, dear poet
