An Abusive Father's Love

Cut and slits 1

cover my pale wrists2

But Dad doesn't care 3

about what I say or what I wear 4

As long as he is happy healthy and well 5

With some other girl that seems to be swell6

Not knowing not caring not saying a word 7

Softness and love are buried by a hate that is absurd8

Twisted and gnarled like a sick tree 9

I thought that Dad really loved me10

So now I am wrong with nothing to share 11

but the cuts on my wrists that used to be bare.12

Author notes

If anyone were to ask, this situation is real EXCEPT for the cutting of the wrists... that I do not do...
