To my "Grandpa"

You got my gram knocked up

and ditched the 2 month old baby

My mom always used to wonder if she somehow screwed up

I spent my whole life thinking you should die, maybe

 

The stress you caused my family

made me erase you from our history

You left Granny with 3 kids

even if only one was yours it's wrong.

 

My real papa replaced you easily

But don't think it lets you off the hook

No matter your petty little reason

Everyone hated you when you booked

 

So why am I here feeling blue?

Sad of your death even though I hate you?

Even though you are related by blood I still think it would be swell

If your uncommitted ass would burn away in hell

 

When mommy showed me your death certificate

from 13 years in the past.

Even though we had all forgotten you

I still saw a tear fin her eyes.

 

You died at the turn of the Millennium

Letting nobody of your previous life know

So even though I am kind of mourning

I am so happy that you decided to go.

 

 

Fuck off, pops.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This felt good to write.  Since so many of my family are dying right now, this is a death that still hurts, but not past the point of fun and happiness :)
