daddy dearest

daddy dearest

A Poem by Heather Hassell

i just hate the fact
that i have your eyes

the same eyes that
can look back at me with
contempt

an ocean full of malice
and disgust as if
i was the one who
sunk your neatly
built palace

A daughter's perceptions, a father's shortcomings,
and pain revealed without hesitation. Thank you for sharing an anguish I can feel, dear poet.

Do you think his father's day tie will become too heavy for his neck?

oh, he's already pulled it from his neck, boxed it up and hid it away.
