'Memories of My Father'

By Marie3

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I sit here in the darkness of my safe new home and I remember you. I remember all the times we fought, you hit, I bled and I didn't know what to do. I remember when you were too drunk to know that you shouldn't fuck your own child. And how you tried to slit my throat when I told and the sexual abuse charges were filed. I sit here and I think of all the times that I wished that you were dead. All the times I vowed to kill you and ran through the senario time after time in my head. But now that your gone and the murder charges have long been dropped. The pain in my soul that refused to die with you has finally stopped. I grew up and I married the man I love just last year. And as I lie here in the darkness beside him I know I finally have nothing more to fear. Written January 17th, 2002 © on Jan 17 2002 09:01 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
