Please
Anachocolata

Please don’t say you love me
 1
as you turn your back,
 2
or utter a sweet “goodnight”
 3
as though we’re even friends.
 4
Don’t bury yourself deeper
 5
in the mud of concrete suppositions
 6
I’m fighting to free you from.
 7
 
 
Perhaps you think it’s been erased
 8
with a tearful “I’m sorry” or two
 9
promised so long ago.
 10
Maybe you are oblivious
 11
to how a girl longs for a man
 12
to tell her who she is,
 13
that she’s captivating,
 14
and set the standard high
 15
for how men should treat his daughter.
 16
 
 
Acrid anger eats me to rust,
 17
but I search for healing.
 18
I honestly try to think
 19
you treasure me deep inside.
 20
I truly want to believe
 21
you merely aren’t aware how it hurts
 22
with each smile I don just for you
 23
and that you don’t realize
 24
I have a heart
 25
that loves you.

Very touching, I hope you find a good man to make up for the shortcoming of your dad. You surely deserve it.
 — BxPR

maybe would be better without the poetic tour de force of "bleeding"...heart. and just be cool with a "heart/that loves you."
 — DeformedLion

okay. thanks :)
 — Anachocolata

i agree that this is touching. i hope that this really didn't happen.

but you got the content down, when looking at it as a poem. you capture me with your first two lines and don't let go.
 — listen

Sad poement really...I hope the writing of this was therapeutic for you in some way...
 — JKWeb

yes it was therapeutic to write this and yes this really did/does happen.
thank you for reading.
 — Anachocolata

I would comment if I thought it could help, but his is a very personal piece that outsiders know little about. Absolutely your best work.
 — monsters

really? wow. thanks, monsters. haha why is that your name?
 — Anachocolata

haha it's actually the title of this solo music project I'm working on and I don't know, I figured I'd apply it to my username here as well or whatever haha...basically no real logic behind it, well, not here anyway.
 — monsters

 — Anachocolata
