you want me to suffer
care little about how it affects
our daughter
you have put me through this
for years
goaded me into suicide

I am tired of your abuse
know this
when I die
from whatever cancer
that comes from
holding secrets
and anger

I kept journals
every single day
and one day 
our daughter 
will read them
and know

you have had so many chances
to make things right
and you didn't
I am writing that down too

I didn't write for two years
because your wife called me
a whore and a bad mother
for a poem about rape

you both 
are horrible people
and you are raising 
my daughter to be horrible

when I am dead 
I will haunt you 
because you will never
do the right thing on your own

you took everything from me
because of greed
your emotional abuse is cruel

being vulnerable isn't a weakness
it is humanity
it is what the world needs
people like me are dying out
because of people like you

remember all those dogs you had 
when you were a kid that died
from getting run over
because you lived on a main road
and your parents didn't bother
to teach them it was dangerous?

that is what it is going to happen
with our daughter
congratulations you are officially
