Poem ~ How Dare You
This is my first poem in… jeez, probably over 5 years. Hope you like it.
==========================================================
How dare you.
How dare you abandon a little girl, a girl of your own seed;
How dare you leave her to cry in the arms of anyone other than yourself, ignoring heed.
How dare you cause her to suffer more misery and strife than yourself;
How dare you neglect your parental responsibilities in favor of anything else.
How dare you make her cry for hours at a time, holding on to memories that she cherishes so;
How dare you keep your hold on her, yet not starve to see her glow.
How dare you ruin another child’s life;
How dare you disregard what you know in your heart is right.
How dare you.
