That face you gave and that look of despise,
Was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
How can you live with the lies you spread?
And expect us to adore you with what you just said.
People listen to the lies you spin,
Feel sorry for you and are taken in.
They look at us like we are scum.
Are you Proud? Yet again you have won.
Do you expect us to take it all?
To be still and silent like china doll.
Letting you carry on, like you've done no wrong.
You make it perfectly clear we don't belong.
I told you the truth, which I’d hidden for years
To get it thrown in my face was what I’d feared.
Branded a liar for the whole world to see.
Denying what you said. That really hurt me.
Degrading and belittling a family that cared.
You've now lost that love you once had shared.
Making up lies and distorting what’s real,
Causing unthinkable damage that might never heal.
You can lie and deny all you desire,
I know what’s right and I’m not a liar.
When will you stop and see what you’re losing,
It's your choice Dad. Start choosing.
Just because it's not always aimed at us,
Don’t think we won't make a fuss,
It still hurts when you speak ill of mum.
You have everyone wrapped around your little thumb.
You were given a second chance, so why throw it away?
We wanted our family to be together and for you to stay.
But behind our backs, you take out the knife.
I'm sorry Dad; you made your choice. Have a nice life.
