Grip of Resentment

Krixiamae L. Palalon
Chapter 1
ISBN:

978-621-96514-9-3

Time passes by like a whirling wind

Laughter and memories that we have shared

Memories that we felt yesterday

But turned into flashes of memories that fade away

 

After six years with no father figure

I just knew that our family will never be the same as before

My mother’s always there for me

My father, that doesn’t mean I don’t need you around

But I think now you’re too busy

With the new family you have found.

 

I missed the way I used to feel

The warmth of comfort you made me feel

But let us go back to today

That our family is torn apart because you continue to move away.

Father, I have never felt your love

Of years that you are not with me

And Now you’re reaching out to me

I just let all the resentment be with me

Father, I have resentment inside me

And I bury it properly

When dusk falls, I tear apart

Yet I heal whenever dawn comes

When everybody gives voice to

That “the father is the pillar of the home.”

What makes me doubt it?

because you don’t ever show it.

And if the time comes,

That you won’t feel the love I have for you

I will still reach out for your hands

And I will utter my “I Miss You.”
