Dad, I really just don’t know what to say.
You have no idea how hurt I am, these tears won’t go away.
You don’t know how much you’ve changed,
You used to be the best, but now you’re in chains.
Love is blind, and you are blinded.
You don’t even see how much I mind it.
She’s brainwashed you and whipped you,
And she controls every single thing you do.
I don’t know if she makes you happy,
But I never see her acting sappy.
She’s so mean,
I can’t stand the way she looks at me.
She hates me, and I hate her,
I really did try dad, I even acted politer.
But the way you used to be...
I can’t even describe it.
Daddy I loved you so much,
My anger now hides it.
I cry when I think about the old days too much,
I was just so happy and filled with love.
But she took control, of you and our house,
You don’t even mind,
Because you think of her as a spouse.
But when this all happened,
I didn’t see what she had planned.
I didn’t see how my happiness would end.
You didn’t even ask me if I wanted her to move in.
Now my life is so messed up and ruined.
And you aren’t the same, dad,
You used to be so awesome.
Flexible and protective,
Loving and perceptive.
You used to go to me,
To write the list of groceries.
You used to go to me to ask what we would need.
It used to be our house and our lives,
Just the three of us,
Me, you, and Tav.
Everything was so great,
I was rarely sad.
I had alot of good days,
Not alot of bad.
But then she came,
And she brainwashed you, dad.
She stole you and changed you,
She took everything I had.
Then she convinced you I was spoiled and bad.
Daddy what happened to you?
You’re no longer you,
The you I knew,
Is gone and through.
I really do miss you so much,
She knows nothing about me dad,
Me and her have never even touched.
Not even a hug.
Why should I be nice to her when she looks at me with disgust?
How am I supposed to get through hard times?
When i have no home,
Nowhere to go,
She stole it all away from me daddy,
And now I’m all alone.
You’re not my dad anymore,
You’re just her robot,
That punishes me and gets mad at me,
That’s not how you used to be.
We were doing just fine the way we were dad,
I was happy in that house.
I was happy with that life,
Now in gasoline it’s been doused.
Lit up in flames,
There goes all my happiness and pictures in frames,
I have only you and her to blame.
There goes the dad I had and the girl I was,
There goes all my happiness and there goes your love.
I miss you dad,
Now everything has changed.
I’m sorry I’m not happy,
But how can I be when nothing is the same?

This poem almost made me cry, my dad took a lot of happiness away from me due to a similar situation and I can understand just how hard it is. A great poem, filled with so many different emotions, good work.
