Poem #153

I watched you go


I watched you as you walked away 
You didn't have anything left to say
You turned the corner and never looked back 
You didn't see my panic attack 


What did a child do to deserve such treatment 
To grow up with such resentment 
You said you always wanted a son 
Not a girl with her hair tied in bun

I excelled in everything I do 
But none of that matters to you 
The look of disappointment always in your eyes 
because I could always see beyond your lies 

I watched you tear my family apart
leaving my mother with a broken heart
Drugs was always on your priority list
Leaching the life out of you like a cancerous cyst
