No Remorse

Christina8

Why doesn't he love me?

I need him so

Why can't he get clean?

Even for him, it's a new low

 

I wouldn't want him as a dad

But it's what I was dealt

He's devoid of all feeling

It's always how I've felt

 

Why am I not good enough?

To be fair, it's all of us, I'm afraid

The drink, the drugs, are his crutch

There's not a whole lot more to be said.

 

It hurts when I think of him,

He doesn't know my kids exist,

Fuck him! He went away for good reason

And this is just part of the list;

 

Of all the reasons I can't stand him

Including my childhood of course

He was scary, and never there for me

All without a shred of remorse.

      A tough read so can only imagine what it took to write
      The "fuck him" is very prominent
      If he doesn't know his grandkids exist
      He is already fucked
      Respect Christina

        I've often wondered, when I see scenes of hospital nurseries, that all those babies are new and fresh in the world, what will they go home to? Reading your poem I am saddened to think of the tortuous years you must have endured, and the effects that still linger. You have a life that he will never have and will never understand. A very courageous write dear friend, God Bless.
