[bodytext] => It was the day you lost your job
It was the time that she still loved you It was before my dad was "a no good slob" It was before mom screamed "I hate you" It was the day that my innocence died and was severed It was the day that changed my life forever Barely married for 5 years I remember now, the beginning of my tears A little boy, just 5 years old No parents found, lost in the cold You worked in the day, mom worked at night No time together, except when you fight Reduction in income, the bills go higher Betrayal of your marriage, you both become liars Integrity compromised, self esteem sags So you both used your son as a punching bag "It's your fault we're married, it's your fault we're poor" When you're that ***** young, those words you can't ignore As the pressure mounts, resentment starts to destroy your marriage more then you have another boy Mom loses a job, dad stays in a bar I can't fight back, here's the beginning of my scars You use your sons against each other You became my tormentor instead of father and mother Trapped in your life, and nowhere to go You're hating your life, and beating me so No friends in school, I'm picked on, tormented The scars on my childhood forever cemented Because you also were helpless, alone and abused When you were both children, so you had an excuse You passed on to us, what was done on to you To make yourself feel better, by hurting us two And when that wasn't enough, just like lambs to a slaughter You made your defeat complete, by having a daughter Now 30 years later, your life has gone by Resentment and hatred, and living a lie Unwilling to change, you don't get it, you don't hear and all I have is an answer, to the beginning of my tears [comments] => 1 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 48 [informant] => darkscorpio [notes] => [ihome] => 1 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
