Why

Why,

Why love a man who would ruin a child's life,

A man who doesn't understand the difference between the words refuse, and forget,

A man who doesn't really care,

Care for anyone but himself,

Kill her,

He'd be happy then,

Don't refuse,

She knows she wants too,

Ruin a dream,

Passion,

And worst of all he won't grow up,

How old is he,

He's a parent isn't he,

She's a parent ain't she,

I wonder why She stays,

Stays around him.

This is really good. Its definitely written from a younger person's perspective -- questioning, not berating. Well written.

Very nice and powerful, you have a lot of insight to be so young most people your age don't notice these kinds of things even when they're happening right in front of their eyes. Overall a good write. Keep it up! :)

A powerful poem sweety, some things are not easily understood and that shows perfectly here, a great piece xx

I love how this takes a very intellegent view of how a youth would see and try and understand the mental and emotional machine that we call parents or adults.
I think many people have asked this question of couples, from children all the way up to our societies ancients. And oddly, I don't think anyone knows a complete answer... I think it's one of those things in life that get pondered about.

Great ink!

The images of frustration and "going in cirlces" are strong here Joy. You have done very well to convey to the reader these emotions. You have done well and very well.
