Dad
I shouldn't hate you
For you have taught me
What hurt is physically.
You mantled a smile
To teach the definition of lies
'Oh you wore it so crookedly.
When I was 9 you treated me
Like a daddy should only treat mummy.
You taught me how to fear.
So when the night turned cold
And my bruises ached
Your name would burn, and warm my tears.
For you have taught me
What hurt is physically.
You mantled a smile
To teach the definition of lies
'Oh you wore it so crookedly.
When I was 9 you treated me
Like a daddy should only treat mummy.
You taught me how to fear.
So when the night turned cold
And my bruises ached
Your name would burn, and warm my tears.
