Daddy's Girl

Another old poem I found in my 2009 journal.

Fear spreads-
Poison in my veins;
For a reason
My heart can't contain.

Tears fall
Flowing like a river-
Still he stands,
And remains my father.

Like a child
Afraid of the dark,
Fear bounds my soul;
He left his mark.

With silence,
He tortured;
With a look,
He killed.

Fear pierced
My heart,
Left a hole
Like a pointed dart.

The hollow
Can't be filled
Until words appear
And provide me a shield.

I enjoyed this piece, very much. You greatly expressed your attitude toward him and the things done unto you.

This is a emotional write here.
I know it must hurt to have a father like that.
He is the only one you will ever have
I wish My dad was still around.
