To my cheating dad.

Poem

they say betrayal shapes you

It molds you into who you are

But it wasn't me, the one betrayed

Yet look at me, what I've become

...

Crying, mourning the person you were

Or maybe the person I thought you to be

Tell me why does this hurt this bad

It feels like when you did it, you cheated on me

...

I know mom forgives you

It was me who convinced her to

I just wish I can be as careless as she is

I tried but, it's something I can never do

...

I know it was a phone thing

I know it wasn't that deep

But what about the promises you broke

The ones you were supposed to keep

...

I liked you and defended you to everyone

When I had the proof on my phone

Thinking if I ignored it long enough

Maybe it will go away on its own

...

I wish I can forgive and forget

And I sometimes do, for a little while

But then memories flood my mind

And all I can do is write or cry

...

And I can't rant to anyone because

How bad will that make you look

How bad will it make me look

A pitiful daughter to a cheating dad

A wreck to be fixed

Pretty tragic, pretty sad
