The Evil One

Once I had friends who really cared,
about me who would help,
when life had them scared.

I was always able to have,
the right thing to say,
just the thing to help,
brighten Their day.

Once the (un)reality of My life,
got into Their ear,
It seems that They no longer,
wanted to be near.

"Oh He's just a bull Sh_-_-r,
don't listen to Him,
He only is that way,
to suit His own end."

"He just wants people,
to think He is cool,
But in reality,
He is just one big fool."

"He lies cheats steals,
emotions from those,
from whom He is,
intending to hose."

"He sets up a mark,
with words to seem dear,
but will attack without warning,
from the side or the rear."

"Despicable is He",
is what They all would hear,
from One who wants to destroy Me,
"Don't let him come near!"

Words to ruin Me come from,
the mouth of My foe,
An endless spray of Real Bull,
come forth in a flow.

But it's the way that it is said,
that makes it seem to be true,
so believable to Anyone,
even Me even You.

I saved this Dear Child's life,
at one time, it is True!!
She shook from electrocution,
Her face red Her lips blue!"

I tell this True story of,
My Real Life as it were.
Before something unforseen,
happened to Her.

She reached legal age,
and We just wanted some respect.
After raising her well fed,
and far from neglect.

But She would unleash nasty words,
to Her Mother and Me,
the likes of which many,
of You had never seen!

So rotten had this Girl become,
after reaching that age,
We wanted to put Her away,
out of sight or in a cage.

We soon tired of the abuse
and gave Her a choice,
move out of the house,
or put an end to that voice!

She chose to move out,
and told All the She knew,
We threw her out,
without even her shoes.

The lies got so bad,
She ended the life,
of any relations
of all Relatives of my Wife.

After that done She began,
to work on My side,
of the Family Tree,
to continue her ride.

Monthly a new topic,
she would feed into the ears,
of all My Relatives,
for twelve long years!

Soon they began to believe me,
as I broke down her wall,
but succeed I did,
to some but not all.

Those who believed me,
are still on My side.
They thanked Me for showing them,
the evil ways of that little child.

A few years have now passed,
that have been quite nice indeed,
Since the onslaught had subsided,
it is now easier to breath.

We do have somewhat of,
a relationship now with Her,
after we told Her we forgive Her
for all the bad feelings,
that she would used to stir.

No it's not perfect,
but it is a real start,
to let this Poor Girl,
back into our Broken Hearts.


( Yes, this is a True Story.)

so very nice and so very sure...a few tears dropped down on my cheeks..

a reply to: ccbears

Thanx Hun. Yah I know it was kinda hard to write about her,
but it was on my mind for some reason......
Guess it was because we only gave her 99% of our attention, while giving 1% to the the other 3 kids huh?
That missing 1% messed her up I guess. Love You. Me.

Nice Syx! I love a happy ending!

a reply to: Night Star

Thanx Night! Yah it's happier now that it used to be. LOL!

Dude....

Heavy. Beautifully done good sir!

a reply to: TrueBrit

Thank You True!

I feel your pain and frustration, for I too have a daughter with whom I have a very tenuous relationship. It seems unfathomable how things can get so skewed and complicated. I have chosen to love her no matter what, whether she rejects me or attacks me, or disdains me. It is such a deep pain and hurt. I just want you to know I understand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you can find peace in all of this. Thank you for sharing.

That's really good
I liked the flow of how you rhymed. Very nice.
I hate that happened but at least it turned out good. What goes around comes around.. Or as my great grandfather used to say .. The worm turns.
Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day

Hi Natalia! I do not have a very large vocabulary so tend to use simple words/sentences. It is easy at times to rhyme successfully. Other times, not so easy. Not sure why.
I believe in 'What goes around comes around'. Karma is a marvelous thing, eh?
I saw a business sign a while back that said on one side, "Don't grow up. It's a Trap." I like that one.
The other side pertains to what you mentioned, "The Worm Turns."
It said, "Dear Karma, I have a List of People that You Forgot!" LOL!!
Never heard the expression, "The Worm Turns." I do like that however! Your Great Grand Dad was a smart Guy!

Thank You for Your response to this Natalia. I do appreciate it! You have a Lovely Day as well!

UnBelievable is Right!!! Out of left field, from behind, You name it, We were always gettin some kind of Crap from Her! But in all fairness, I guess, She is just a kid. Early 30's now, but Young just the same. So it has been better, not perfect mind You, but way better than before. So We take it as it comes now. Thank You for the replies here to Me!! I appreciate them ALL!!!

Syx.
