Piece In A Pocket

Poem By: XBrokenHeartedX
Poetry


I want you to understand.
I don't want to tell you, but I have to.
I love you, I care for you.
But I'm afraid that you will shun me out, reject me.
Reject your own daughter.
Please, father. View table of contents...

    Turning away even I don't see myself.

    I wish only for you to understand.

    I don't want to be pushed away, rejected.

    I would be left with all the pain,

    The pain of both our childish mistakes.

    I'm living in hell every single day,

    I'm just always trying to get out.

    It's burying me deeper and deeper into the pit until I'm fully under.

    I can't feel your hand on mine and I scream, an everlasting scream.

    I dig and dig and scream and scream.

    I helped you,

    I love you.

    I knew that you would always be there for me.

    But what I did,

    What I've done.

    That blade,

    Across my wrist.

    The blood,

    Spilling everywhere.

    The noises,

    Rushing to my head.

    And I want to tell you.

    But your ears won't open up,

    You won't listen.

    I burn with the anxiety to burst it out,

    To throw it in your face.

    But what if you reject me?

    Turn me away because of my wrong doings?

    You said you hated them,

    The people who used that blade.

    You said that they deserved no life, that they were better off dead.

    And those tears,

    These tears,

    That fall down my cheeks are not for you.

    They are because of you.

    They are the reason I cry.

    They are the reason I scream.

    They are the reason I fear.

    You are my father.

    You are my dad.

    You are my daddy.

    And I don't ever want you to leave.

    This seperation,

    This divorce,

    No matter how old I am or how many times I've told myself,

    I can't deal with it.

    It affects me,

    Burns me,

    Kills me.

    I don't know you anymore.

    I barely see you, and you always have fun with other people.

    I'm losing you,

    And you're like the blood that spills from my open wounds.

    I may get you back,

    But not the exact one I lost.

    With your feelings so doubtfully untrue,

    I lay here thinking of only you.

    I want to see you,

    I want to hear you,

    I want to be with you.

    But I'm so busy living the life I don't want to live,

    And being the person I don't want to be.

    I want you to save me.

    I want you to be here with me.

    I want you to tell me it will all be ok.

    But you can't,

    Because you don't understand.

    This blade.

    These scars.

    This blood.

    These tears.

    They were all for you.

    And I wish that you would cry with me,

    Hug me,

    Be with me,

    Tell me that it will be better.

    But you can't,

    Because you don't know.

    I am in fear.

    Rejection,

    of your own daughter.

    Please,

    Father.

Divorce in general has affects on the kids... i have been fortunate enough not to have gone through it... although its been a close call a few times...

I'm not sure what to say... i took a break from booksie after the last comment i wrote for you... because ihvaent felt too good... and now i thought i could write something but i cant...
I'm having a 'commenters' block hahaha....

It was really sad hearing these words... i feel so much for you... you dont understand... when i read things like this i wish i was there to just hold you... its the same with a few other writers... writers write because we feel the emotions have to be expressed and unfortunately many choose to write for the sadder emotions... I'm sorry... I fall under that category...

All i can really offer right now is an interactive hug hahahahaha..........
[hugs...]

T_T I feel like... yeah.....

My eyes are begging me right now to let the tears loose but i dont want to................. Please take care of yourself... people care...... i care....

God you're killing me! Stop feeling so down! Now I want to cry and be depressed all over again! I care for you Lionheart, so don't be sad:( Well divorce really does. My parents got divorced when I was only 6 months old, and my sister is four years older than me. I barely get to see my dad...maybe once or twice every two months, and then whenever we do I'm excluded from conversations because my dad and sister always have adult things to talk about. (my sister is going into college). I guess right now it's just really hard. and YAY! I love interactive hugs ha ha. Don't worry Lionheart, your not the only person who falls under that category. I picked up writing when I needed to tell someone my emotions but couldn't. So I wrote them down in poems. I have like a whole box full, it's crazy from just one emotional crisis. Writing is where I'm free, and nobody can critisize me for what I say. And take care of YOURSELF. And thanks for caring:)

Geez, I don't know what to say. My parents arent divorced or anything like that, but I can kind of understand what you're feeling. My dad drives four hours everyday to go to work and then at least four hours back. I never see him except on sundays. It's almost like my parents are divorced but still live in the same house, you know? Any way, I hope you won't always feel this way about your dad, I know I did at one point in time.

Good Luck.

Thanks so much Kaori, what you said means a lot. Yeah I barely see my dad so I guess it's hard to explain things or express anything. Thanks again, and I'm glad you liked it:D
