dad and i

my tainted love affair

a blood covenant

continues negative on the balance sheets

a constant power struggle

my soul and unwavering obedience the prize

secretly a grudge grows

(encouraged by continual love famine

inclined by love withdrawal punishment)

poisoning the source

 

uncomprehensible to me

why i am always found unworthy

fathers love, blessing and protection

unattainable

withdrawal, nonacceptance and deliberate bad wishes

fertilizes the acre

what will the harvest be

tug of war for my sanity

my Heavenly Father and mum

vs

the enemy and dad

forge in this firepit

born among ashes
