I'm pouring crimson blood,
From this bleeding heart in me.
It's a fount forever flowing,
And it brings me to my knees.
You've encased my soul in ice,
And you've driven me mad.
You are a controlling bastard,
And it hurts that you're my dad.
This pain has left me hollow,
It's squeezed my spirit dry.
It's sure to stay with me forever,
And you'll never tell me why.
The sun has gone to black
To match your horrid soul.
Will all this ever go away?
Will I ever gain control?
She looks to me to help her,
But I don't know what to say.
And now I comfort my own mother
But can't keep her tears at bay.
The stars are crying for us
As we scream your name in spite.
You think you've broken us,
But soon you'll see us fight.
You are no longer my father,
And I refuse to share your name.
You can't control us anymore,
And we refuse to bear your shame.
Author notes
We recently found out that my father has been cheating on my mother for at least 20 years of their 32 year marraige. The girl he's with now is 27, my older sister's age; she graduated with her in fact. *FAMILY*

Your alliteration is wonderful and gives the poem an extra added *something* that made it very strong. The story you tell is sad and you've used your emotions to creat a great work. Well done.
