how could i ever love you,
you absentee father?
no amount of excuses could equal
the time you spent with another,
another woman
and built another family
all while hurting my mother
and ruining me mentally,
how could i ever love you,
you remorseless father?
you caused so much heartache and anger
but you never asked for forgiveness after,
how could i ever love
the first man to ever break my trust,
an innocent child's love for her parent
is now worn and weathered with rust,
over time i learned to just let things be,
but that doesn't mean i forgive you,
i do not forget the things that broke me,
father, i will never forgive you.
