FAMILY

We grew up together,

You hurt me the most,

Things will never get better,

So let's have a small toast

-

Of the people you threw away,

Mom can't stop crying,

Daddy can't feel anymore,

Fed up with your constant lying.

-

Yet I still try to forgive,

Constantly wiping your slate clean again,

But you take more than I can give,

My views of who you once were starts to descend.

-

How dare you do this to me,

What have I done?

For you to simply run over me,

Leaving us in a rut?

-

Still I defend you actions with blind faith,

I know there's still some good,

I wish that I wouldn't take your bait,

Doing more than I should.

-

I can't do this anymore,

You're the one who chose to leave us,

It's time to finally shut the door,

On a stranger so scandalous.

*********************************************

Gotta fucking love it when one of my little sisters who moved out on bad terms while I was at work, in which I haven't seen her in MONTHS and she never calls for anything unless it has to with her, calls me out of the fucking blue to ask if I can pee in a cup for her so she can pass a drug test. That's the first things she says to me after all this time, with my parents bitching on how bad she was, I was always defending her.

When I said I couldn't do it she hung up on me.

So fuck everything.
