Dark Poems

Father Dead

-Father Dead-

My daughter is looking for me.
But I know she won't find me.

My wife is crying because of me.
But I know she'll be strong because of me.

My life is falling into deaths hands.
My life has already been taken to unknown lands.

I fought with guns and with bombs.
Against husbands, children, and their moms.

My heart is filled to the rim with black.
Love is the thing my heart really lacks.

I've been far from my family for far too long.
That I've already forgotten how much I've longed.

For them, my friends, and all the love they gave.
I protected their homes, even from my grave.

I won't let anyone falter the love they all share.
Even if that means my heart must blacken more every year.

I lived loving them them.
I died protecting them.
