Heartbroken

A parent's heart

No words hurt so much

As a grown child’s words

Spoken in anger

Filled with hate

No one's actions hurt so much

As a mature child’s actions

Done in the heat of the moment

Filled with loathing

No one can break your heart

Like a grown child

Who imagines a wrong

And suddenly hates you

For to give all your love

To them, from birth to infinity

And to be their whole world

For most of their life

Then to be worth spit to them

It is the most heartbreaking of them all.

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
