How Sad

It's pretty sad you didn't even call your own grand kids to wish them a Happy Easter,
And that we haven't even seen each other since January.
It's sad that Mom and I would rather go shopping later when we see your car in the parking lot.
It's so sad that I hope you cry yourself to sleep at night...
Every night.

Be sure to cry enough for the both of us because I sure as Hell don't.
I hope you dream about it;
 Have nightmares about it;
   I hope it eats you up inside,
All the while, I'm sound asleep.

I hope every time you look at my picture on top of your cabinet,
You miss me.
Or at least regret what you did.
I hope it hurts so bad that you can't stand the pain.

Isn't that sad?
Me, your only granddaughter, wishing that upon you two...
I guess not as sad as me knowing that you don't think you did anything wrong.
Me knowing that you take pride that you've "moved on" from your own family.

I've heard everything you've said about me, about Mom, my dad, Jeff, Cindi, and everyone else you drug into this and beat with your words.
I don't understand how you could do it.
I really don't,
And frankly, I never want to.
Cause I would rather die than be that twisted.

So, Grandma, Grampa...
I hope that every time you think of me,
You kick yourself for being the ones that fucked everything up.

Author notes

So, basically, this feud has been going on for over a year and it's been my mom, me, my uncle Jeff and his wife and kid, against my grandparents and my aunt with her husband and kids, and then my other uncle has been stuck in the middle [[poor Joe. :/]] And it's been starting to piss me off lately, and I've been wanting to write about it, but I guess I didn't have a reason to.

I'd say a gold trophy and 350 is as good a motive as any.

    Why did it start is my question... Perhaps another time. Bet it feels good to have that off your chest. Wonderful sweetie. Good luck
