How Could You?

Your mistakes like a polluted lake
Flowing through your veins
Pumped by a black heart
So the cavernous thoughts
Carry over the line to her ear
And infect her mind
Which in turn taints
The beautiful angel you both created
He keeps his sweet vigil by the door
Only to have his hopes dashed
By deceitful deceptions,
Devious deeds,
Demented dillusions,
Doors to depression,
You are the keeper of the key
He just turned five
Do you even care that he's alive?

    nipplebutt? When did my tits and ass exchange places??? Or am I just upsidedown???:D

    Thanks for caring! He's my sweet, beautiful nephew! And he deserves much better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And e.f.---you're right---I should send it to the fucking asshole
    but if he can't even be there for his kid, what makes you think he'll give a shit about what I have to say???--I'll answer that ---HE WON'T!

    Hey B.E. I'm caustic sarcasm for hire.

    Tell me where he is and by the time I'm done with him, he'll be a bloody mash of disenchanted thoughts and twitching synapses no longer firing correctly.

    also, he may believe that he is a lemming and throw himself off the nearest endover cliff.

    no great loss.

    or, as vonnegut would say,

    so it goes.


    and radar, I pulled her from the monkey bars, I wasn't done yet. :D

    It's such a terrible shame for fathers to be so apathetic toward their children. But perhaps, in a way, it's for the best. Then they can't infect and destroy the young minds if they're not around.

    Makes it easier for mama to find someone who cares and who will love her little tyke... and for him to love the new daddy, ya know?

    I'm talking out my ass... but just a thought...

    Ya Wise Ass! :D

    Unfortunately, he still snivels around now and then. You know, when it's convenient for him. And my sis hasn't got the heart to tell him to f-off. The little guy still loves his daddy!

    Man, this shit just breaks my heart up into little, bitty shards!

    Yah, sorta reminds me of my g/f's niece, Emi. Lives with mom down in VA, but the deadbeat asshole pop insists on seeing her every so often... whenever it's most convenient for him and inconvenient for mom and everyone else. It's really a shame, and rather frustrating.

    It's so, so, so fucking sad! Just thinking about the little guy all dressed and waiting for his dad. He was dressed and all excited to go out for his B-day, day with his dad at 11am and his dad was "supposed" to pick him up at 3pm and then doesn't even call until it's well past pick up time. I can only imagine the pain that it caused in his sweet little heart, I know it bothers him, I can only hope that he rises above all the B.S.!

    I just hope this doesn't breed some sort of horrible mistrust in this little guy.

    Now I want to take him out for his birthday.

    It just baffles me, ya know? I want kids so bad. I want to love them and be there for them all the time. It just escapes me how someone can feel so... indifferent toward them. So selfish.

    I don't know what it may or may not cause, that scares me. I love him as if he were my own! I had the selfish parent thing and I suppose that caused me to become much colder than I once was but I don't want the same for him!

    There are no excuses for his dad's behavior. There's nothing I can do to change things. I can only love wee tyke and do the best I can to show him that.

    BTW- He'd love ya! He's just a ball of love and he gives it to all!
    You just can't dislike this kid! :D

    Just a little anecdote, mostly unrelated, that I thought I'd share because it made me feel so warm inside...

    On Monday, Chelsea's sister (Chelsea is my girlygirl) took us with her when she was dropping Emi off at preschool (Emi being Chelsea's niece). It was cute, ya know, we walk into a room full of 2 and 3 year olds playing. Emi comes to give Uncle Tim and Aunt Chelsea "luvins" cuz we were leaving to return to Philly. As we're getting ready to take off, I turn around and start waiving to Emi, saying "Bye bye!" All the other little tots, about a dozen of them, sorta gather around me in a half circle and start waving to me, saying "Bye bye!"

    It was the cutest goddamn thing I ever saw, and I wanted to hug them all.

    God, I'm a sap. I'm gonna hafta post some more hardcore poetry on here to regain my manhood.
