Daddy,
Do you want to know
Why I hate you, and
Why is it I despise you so
I hear you screaming in my dead
Last knigh when the moon arose
I tried to take myself to bed
But I hear you cursing everyone you know
Your words are swallowed up in hate
The battle in my head, you will not win
I want to cry, but the tears are too late
I see you put hands on her again, again, and again
I was afraid and I wanted to run
But, that young, where would I go
If it had not been for your son
I'd surely put on a show
You used me, pretended you loved
When you went to jail, I wrote
Then out of your life, I was shoved
If you think I need you, I don't

Poetry: Ghost from the past
by Nancy Browne
Chattering Teeth
I am the ghost
The poor, pale figure
That you know in your heart
Is dead
Yet I return with a muzzled voice
To
And the ghosts of the past continue to march past my bleary eyes,
Individually taking a spear to my heart with their looks
Ghosts of the past
touch my life with their fingers,
silvery claws that flash in the moon.
Cracking the shells
of my dreams
Back in San Fransisco
After being gone so long
Things have changed
The hippie scene is long gone
Now it's commercialism
Rent a Ghost
Round up
Round up
to rattle and ghoul
a ghost of Christmas past been found
Here he is
available to rent
Bar
