Years

Tears collected over years,

A single sentence broke them out,

A broken cage,

A river flowed,

Why do words hurt so much?

A lifetime of fears,

Nights full of doubt,

A flaming rage,

A fallen road,

Loss of touch.

"Find another father." 

Argument of breaking fury,

Forgotten by him,

Impossible for me to forget,

Forgive without speaking,

Words stabbing my heart,

I'll bury them in tears,

Gone but never lost.

My heartbreak haunted me for all of time,

My heart forever shattered,

Why?
