Description:
I watched her tears fall again, this past tuesday. They started once more, out of nowhere, today. Nothing in the world hurts as badly as watching her cry.

She Does Not Understand dots

-------------------------------------------

She sits in the chair, looking at me.
Now the tears are welling in her eyes
because she does not understand anything
but her own hurt, her own lonliness.

I go to her, hold her close while my mind
quickly spills the next lie from my lips.
"He does love you, he wanted to come, the weather is what kept him away this time."

I rock her and kiss her until she stops her tears,
longing desperately to wipe away the disappointment, longing even more to ring his fucking neck.

How could he do it again, why did he do it agian?How long will it be before my own resentment stifles my ability to cover for him? How can he leave her behind so easily, without even a call to explain and say he loves her?

I HATE him for the hurt he causes her, hate him for making me lie to her. Hate watching her tears which stem from the depths of her soul. I hate his broken promises.

And she loves him. She loves him with all her heart, so I rock her and kiss away her tears, giving her all my love, trying desperately to fix the heartache that is

Her Father.

  are you talking about your parents? just curious. ANyway, i had a friend like you once, then i moved away and after a while, you know. the end.

But anyway, you're better than me cuz i'd get tired of comforting this friend of your's time and again. I had a homeboy who kept comming to me with all his problems with his girl. I just said to leave her because what's worth going through all that. But he didn't. Eventually they broke up and I had to hear all about it. don't get me wrong, this guys like a brother to me i'd do anything for. But dang if the same person causes you pain over and over and over then just leave. Just go. Save yourself. Unless you like the hurt. Maybe i'm just unsensitive to love or something else cheesy like that. Whatever. How could someone who loves themselves willingly subject themselves to torment? anyway still a good write you probably didn't want to read some foolish rant. so poof, vamous son of a b-!

  wow such a touching loving and painful poem to write and to live. You did an excellent job of driving home the message to fathers who just don't get it. I will put in a prayer for your daughter pain.

This was such a personal and sincere write, ty for sharing this with all the writers on this great site.

I think at times ,we as writers need to take a stand on something that is truly important to the world and put our surreal and pity party poems aside for a bit. To write something so powerful as this,bravo

giving u a standing ovation for this write.

Keep writing and I will keep reading
