father help: My Father’s Affair

My Father’s Affair

you were my superman
you flew me round like super-girl
You had those proper hands
the ones that curl
you into your arms
keep me far away from harm

we used to walk together
make up songs we thought were clever
i had my teeth taken out
you quickly dashed about
to buy that big pink bunny
so cute, so funny
just to make me smile
forget the pain for a while

We’d take those mountain trips
hold my hand, make sure i didn’t slip
You were my everything that is sure
i think that it is why it hurts so much more
You lied to me my daddy, my dear,
and now i cannot shake this tear
it clogs my eyes, my life, my brain
i run through the facts again and again
Betrayal is a powerful game

were we not enough
was it so tough
just to accept the beauty of playing with me and my toys
was my smile, the look of joy
when you walked through the door
not enough you needed more

and with all my childly innocent i accepted your lies
my home split, my heart split beneath hidden cries
and now i look back to see where superman has gone
still ignorant of the consequences of what he has done
but i will always know - i lost the faith
i cannot shake this bitter taste

of course i forgave you - years and years have past
yet something i fear will always last
i feel such anger towards your lie
and now when i die
i fear i will have an incomplete soul
for this anger
this regret
tore away a great hole

Thank you for reading my poem: please i would appreciate your feedback :-)

it was very good it was just how i feel towards my father. do you still speak to him? i’ve shut my father out of my life after what he’s done to destroy my family. i forgave him but how can you forgive someone who’s never been remorseful.

hey thanks for the message - i think this has effected lots of people. with me my dad was just like well that is the way it is. never remorseful almost more sort of saying that most people do it. and unfortunetly not really thinking about how it would effect the rest of us. as i said i am normal with him now of course but it just you never really forget and well as i said in the poem i looked up to him and well now he doesnt seem as tall.

i know it hurts huh? well you’re great for being bale to forgive him and be normal around him. i give you props. i think its perfectly fine to still be upset a little though i mean you looked up so highly of him. =]

girls can be bitchy but guys are the jerks of the world.

so witty - u must be pleased with urself. or is it pleasing?

pleased is the correct terminology.

and not so much pleased as honest.
your highly developed sense of emotions isn’t regarded highly here in the states
we don’t have emotions for the most part
it makes things easier

not what i hear! americans everywhere else are viewed as extreme blown up figures who prance around all day drinking starbucks, talking on their ‘cell’ and starting wars - that is the general stereotype - im not as niave to believe it though - i like americans - the emotional and non emotional ones
