Jade

When you only love her, you lose us

It hurts to know, 

That I don't even get a hello,

But you give her all your love.

They say once I was enough,

But I guess that's not true anymore,

I must've really become a bore.

Then again, it's not just me.

Sometimes I wonder if you're really okay,

With pushing all of us away. 

Then I know you are,

Because apparently she passes some bar,

That we haven't been able to.

But it's alright,

Because you've made it so we hate you, too.

So stick with with your jewel that will soon fade.

After all, she is your Jayde.

Author's Note

Long story short, my papa is a complete fucking asshole to anyone but his precious Jayjay. I can't even remember the last time he said hello to me...
And i stay in his house every other weekend.

You struck a cord. I can completely relate, When you feel like you've never been good enough,. I stopped trying, it was a waste of my time.

Sounds . . . difficult. To be honest, I read this because "Jade" is my favorite stone, and it turned out to be different, but it's very good.

[Kaylor Mason]

The best poems are those that come not just from abstract emotions, but from real events in people's lives. I enjoyed it!
