Mom...
She married a man
Tonreplace my father
Five years ago...
They got married
He tried taking my dads place
I wouldnt let him
I gave him hell
I kicked
I screamed
Eventually I realized...
He's better
Doesnt mean I like talking to him
I'm fourteen
And I can count
How many sentences
We have exchanged in a week
On two hands
Nine...
Some days we don't talk at all
But hes better for my mom...
He doesnt hit her
He doesnt yell at her
The most he's ever made us do
Was leave for a few nights
He was drunk...
He stopped drinking when they git engaged
I only call him dad
To make him happy
Cuz I know
The hole in my heart
Wont be filled
By anyone
Except my real dad
