You were supposed to be there
You were supposed to care
But your mind was corrupted
By all the drugs you did
And all the lust you felt
I was left alone
Left with a curse upon my head
Down all the wrong roads I was lead
Following in your footsteps I wouldn't dare
Because unlike you I know how to care
Still you torture me to oblivion
Tears stain my pillow
As I remember all the pain you cause me
All the sorrow you still cause
You ran away and expect me to forgive and forget
But I can do neither
Because you don't deserve forgiveness
For making me what I am
And forgetting would make me repeat your mistakes
Never again shall you ruin another's life
The curse will be lifted
And you will die
Never to haunt me or mine
Good-bye

It's so hard to forgive the pain of something like that. I have never experienced something quite like that but you made me feel it.

This was written on my birthday [=
sowi, random fact, just thought i'd add it in.
This was sad, && yet, kind of almost angry, I've experienced a similar thing, he was meant to care, he never died && still doesn't.
Thanks for entering, good luck in my contest [=

very relative
Wow very nice poem. Though there may be a typo on line four, I think you intended your "too" to be "do" unless I'm mistaken. Though, I can relate to this poem very very well. You see, this past summer my mom left us because of my sister, and though I do miss her a lot at times, there's also times where I feel like I shouldn't give a damn about what happens to her because she betrayed me so. All in all, very good writing. Keep up the awesome work!

That was pretty freakin cool
Well, I can tell you one thing- It is so hard to forgive someone who keeps the cycle going. I finally saved my mom from a life that was a complete downward spiral, living above the bars, doin dope, and drinkin all the time. Sometimes you have to be the person to stand up and say "what the hell are you doing?" My opinion on Dads- they suck when the think they are magicians. - Lotsa Hugs- Harper -
No baby. my mom and I didn't get into it. My dad has dissapeared again tho. I love you and I"ll see you later today.

I have some friends like that. They "break us up" ((just friends)) and expect me to forgive them. I do, but then they do it again. It happens over and over and over again. But, I ALWAYS give in and become there friend again!!! URGH for feelings!!
Awesopme write!! TEN thumbs up!
