You told me you LOVE ME
Oh so long the time had passed
As you tried to undo buttons
That held my blouse closed fast
Said you always will
'Til the day you pass away
These 25 years will be
The nightmare that will stay
Seems I am “YOUR NEW WIFE”
When on the bus you said
“Traded in my old one friends”
(Now wife not daughter instead?)
Your tongue down my throat
A few painful days hence
Told again that you LOVE ME
But therein lies the fence
You are my Fucking Father
And by the way Mummy
It hurt when you did not see
That it made no fucking difference
'Cos he did not penetrate me
Where were you when I needed you
A vapour, a spirit, a ghost
Choosing not to care, never there…
You were the one I needed most
As for you my brother
I cannot but help my disgust
You were meant to be protector
Not another man full of lust
I do not like banjos
Let alone the duelling ones
I am so glad my children
Were someone else’s sons
Examples of a loving family
I give you within written print
My nightmare I have lived through
Do you get my unsubtle hint
Not sorry that I flattened them both
Have ignored feelings since that time
And from my mouth I never can
Remove that taste of slime.
