Dear Father,
You don't know me, but I have your eyes.
I met your mother, your brothers,
I was there when my grandfather died.
I read your journals. I know your secrets, I know your truths.
And, yes, Father, I know she lied.
You don't know me, but I smile alot, like you.
I've seen your pictures, smoked one of your stale camels...
there's alot of you in everything I do.
And I met her, Father, the one who stole you from us.
And, yes, I know, the pain she put you through.
You don't know me, but I sadden at the thought
of knowing, YOU, my Father,
were afraid that I may have forgot.
You live in me! You've touched my soul...
Forget you...I cannot

That is so sad! I am sorry that you never got to meet your father. Your mother shouldn't have been so selfish to have him killed. Great poem.

I like this writing style, you used almost the same line each time again, but at the start this time...it grabs attention.
The words themself are filled with emotion and regret at not knowing your father. Your mother was indeed selfish, and I hope she didnt escape justice.
Another excellent poem
Love Dawny xxx |
