My Wish, My Father

I lay awake this night in my bed
The T.V. in the living room is still on
My father lay asleep with I tilted over beer bottle
Half of it's contence was already gone
My mother doesn't live with us any more
She and my father got into a fight
My father had hit her that day
So she left him in the night
The scars upon my face still hurt
But no tears will ever fall
"I HATE YOUR FREAKING GUTS!" he said
He doesn't love me at all
The night that my mother left
She came into my room
"I can't take you this time hunny,
But I'll be back for you real soon."
It's been five years since that night
And I am still around
My father takes it out on me
He'll hit and knock me to the ground
I remember when it was "us"
We went fishing all the time
I have memories of those days
My "good life" in it's prime
But now I lay awake at night
Listening to my father's snore
Wondering when he'll beat me next
Or what the reasons for
My only wish right now
As I'm laying here awake
Is my parents would be together
And we'd be headed toward the lake
The feel of geltal breeze
Blowing over me
The smell of sented flowers
The water all I see
I make that wish every night
Before I go to bed
And every night I dream
The pictures in my head
I know my wish won't come true
My mothers never coming back
I'll just let my father continue on
Turning my world, into black.....

A real tear jerker you have hear. Written with such talent on such a sad heartbreaking subject. I wish you well.

| You made me cry. Families seperating is undescribely tormenting. I have been married 13 years today. I won't divorce because I know the pain it would cause my children. Unfortunetly, I learned the pain from my parents splitting at 4 years old. I really work at my marriage because kids are worth it. I dont know if your going thru this now or you are older or what-but obviously you're hurting. I am sorry. You are very special. |
