becoming you my father

by Dorsi - Not entered

Silence.
no tear drops have fallen from my eyes
just this:
my face looks perplexed
i am beggining to see the world
in a different way,
without you
today, this house is a harmless thing
once we all walked on glass
some took the pain of the shard cutting through their skin
I never stood for it
I would throw my own weapons
they never penterated you
I suppose your extra pounds shielded you
I only served to make you more angry
I was a fool.
so I spent my days limping,
like you father
limping through my life.
It is too quiet here now
No one speaks but in whispers
the glass is gone
but the air has become thick
Ican scarcely breathe, father 
I am so angry
Why did you do this?
I spent my time wishing you dead
and now....
I think I am becoming you, father
