This is something I am dealing with right now...

Sorry for the pain
you claimed, I cried.
I opened my home,
my heart, but you
lied!
Only wanting
something precious,
my daughter.
I didn't know,
you had washed
her brain, already.
You tried
to wash mine.
But my tears,
your soap,
at the point of lather,
withdrawn!

With only a few
tears wasted
on you,
I have enough left
for her...
