Your Shattered Heart by Cassidy Shay (howl and other poems .txt) 📕

You feel abandoned
Lost
Unloved
Betrayed by your blood
Uncared for
Scared
Because of what he did
He left you alone
Deserted
Hurt
No remorse or regret
Is seen in the blue orbs
You call his eyes
Horrible
Cruel
Is what you think
"Dad" or
"Daddy"
Is what you say
You never blamed yourself
That all falls on him
But he still won't
Pick up the pieces of
Your shattered heart.
Heartless
Monstrous
That's how he acts
Like you aren't his child
Doesn't have your back
He used to care
Used to love
Support
Protect
But that's all gone
Now that he's left
He betrayed you
Lost
Alone
Afraid
Without regard for
Your shattered heart.
You're left to raise his children
Dependent
Young
Defenseless
He comes by for the weekend
Happy
Excited
When he has
No right to be
You want to
Scream
Run
Hide
So you don't
Have to stand and wait
As he breaks into smaller pieces
What already was
Your shattered heart.
