Think of this for a minute.
Next time you ask yourself "why?",
when you are screaming in pain,
crying for mercy, and
squealing in agony,
think to yourself of all you've 
done to me.
The million lectures a day,
and the manipulating guilt trips.
The countless times you made me feel like dirt,
and all the lies you thought I told. 
While you were screaming and yelling
I was there, listening and enduring it.
I took it all.
Then remember the neglect.
While you were waving arms in the air
and cheering on blue and white helmets,
telling the raunchy jokes and "inside stories".
I was there.
While you were impressing big shots
with introductions and brag sessions of the family.
The many triumphs of the two kids,
I was there
sitting on the outside again.
My name forgotten to be mentioned.
But that's ok "daddy",
After years of criticism and constant judging
the rags and the rebellion were through.
The hours to myself gave me strength.
Now that you are gasping for air
I can say
      " I forgive you daddy."

I made me

"He made me what I am today" says she.
He made you happy?
Conjured that smile from the depth of
trustlessness you inhabited?
Secured your heart in the hope of
bending the world to your whim?
Made his soul a vessel for your love,
your wish, your pride?
Made you come, legs wrapped around
him in the one position of lust?

I dreamt it was me.

fat arse slow cars ugly baby underarm
bone throb blow jobs backseat with a dumb slob
shit-faced no grace smoke and pick a new waist

good drugs bad sex myopic on the effects
21 unsung cold tits and a sore thumb
plum dung badly hung damage maximising fun
flat hat fast track speeding for a new hack
blown sack rubber back birthday gift a heart attack.

It was a dark night in December
When they took your body down
The cold wind blowed and froze me
As your blood covered the ground

The wrong time and wrong place
And we were standing there
The shots rang out around us
The truth seems so unfair

The snow so white and pure
Was now bleeding red
Nothing could stop the ache I felt
Or the confusion in my head

I held on to your body
Afraid and so weak
The words you said "I love you"
Were the last I'd here you speak

Your beautiful eyes closed forever
And your heart stopped its pound
The tears than flooded my eyes
And my pain filled body drowned

The tears I cry for you
Burn the cuts in my soul
You will be with me always
My love for you won't go
