Well what can I say <br />Delicate <br />And <br />Dangerous <br />Yeah that’s him <br />Sometimes he is here <br />Sometimes he is not <br />As if the wind changes <br /> <br />The sun gives us light <br />Yet retreats at night <br />Gives way to the mysterious moon <br />He gave me life <br />But could take it away <br />Is that really fair? <br /> <br />An unseen bond <br />Right from birth <br />His hand reached out <br />Grasped the rope around my neck <br />SNAP <br />I could breathe… <br /> <br />On the stairs <br />Silently <br />Looking through a frosted vision <br />As my world fell apart <br />Its over <br />Two words <br />The end of a family <br />Its over <br /> <br />14 days <br />28 days <br />56 <br />112 <br />Days grow long <br />Into weeks <br />Into months <br /> <br />Christmas comes <br />Christmas goes <br />The years go on <br />Yet I still fight <br />To see him <br />But my strength is failing <br />My heart grows cold <br />Does he even care? <br /> <br />I’m falling <br />Falling deep down <br />There he stands <br />Watching <br />Just watching <br />I’m still waiting <br />Waiting for him to catch me <br />Been falling for 10 years <br />He’s been watching for 10 years <br />But I’m still falling <br /> <br />Sound of guns <br />Cries in the distance <br />Dismay <br />And <br />Disaster <br />Never the same <br />Changed for all eternity <br />Discipline <br /> <br />He trusts me with his life <br />He trusts me with my own <br /> <br />Like a drug <br />Addictive <br />Hard to forget <br />Impossible to be without <br /> <br />Discipline <br />And <br />Darkness <br /> <br />Anger <br />Not <br />Displaced <br /> <br />Deep <br />And <br />Unreasonable <br />Gathering of <br />Hate <br />There <br />Energy <br />Resides <br /> <br />Finished…<br /><br />Natalie Clyne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dad-and-daughter/
