I Stopped Poem by fortunate thembekile xulu

i stopped caring when you left
the day you told her that you not loving her
screaming hateful words and shutting the door in our faces
did it please you to her tears?
to hear her heart-wrenching cries for you?
i stopped caring when you left
the day you took that gun and placed it on my head
pulling the trigger as she begged you to spare me
did it make you feel manly when you murdered me?
did ti bring you peace when you covered yourself with my blood?
i stopped caring when you left
the day that you screamed that you hated me
the day that you confessed to wanting me gone
did it make you human knowing i hated you?
did it please you when she chose you over me?
that day that you declared me a burden
that you accused me of killing my own mother
thatwas the day that i stopped caring
and started hating you... the one i called... FATHER
