Family, Freeform
What bonds to family truly have?
Broken, shattered?
One way smashed
One way strong?
So when I'm not your son,
But still am,
You berate me for it.
When I say you're mean,
Spiteful, abusive,
It's because I love you and want it to change.
I take it on the chin for that's what it takes
Family does that.
Why aren't you like that?
So angry as to not care about who you hurt,
Even the solid stone wall gets cracks.
Keep speaking of loss.
Keep speaking of desertion.
Keep saying we've failed you.
You'll learn loss.
Maybe you've lost me, all that goes with it.
Maybe if I was a quitter that statement would be true.
What happens when I'm done?
Will you go after me?
Will I want you to?
Worst of all,
Fountain of guilt,
I ain't missin you at all.
