Poison

4 a.m. and still no sleep,
Just can't get you off my brain.
You seep in like a poison,
Or a twisted song's refrain.

I kill you every night,
For all the wicked things you've done.
Then I beat your memory,
For how you think that you have won.

I hate the way you look at her,
And beat her spirit down.
The thought of you sickens us,
And in our vomit we drown.

I hate it that your genes run through me,
And even that I share your name.
I wish that I could beat you senseless,
For your utter lack of shame.

Now I have to comfort her,
Every time you make her cry.
I have to hug and hold her,
Until those tears run dry.

I hope you have a horrid life,
And for her love you pine.
But most of all I hope you know,
That we will be just fine.

    Wow...nice poem. Like haunted blood and subliminal girl said, this is emotional. What stuck to my mind were these two lines:
    You seep in like a poison,
    Or a twisted song's refrain.

    It shows so much hurt, you've put all those feelings in it, and this way, you really make the reader also FEEL what you and your mother have been going through... I hope you are okay, I really liked this poem, very touching and honest...
