There should've been 4 generations here

but the easy way out was good for you

and I'm angry still
33 years gone.

I play "Just remember I Love you"
for my girls over and over

thinking of you
wishing you'd say the same to me

but love you never comes.

And I hate you

AND GOD TOO

because if God never puts more on you
than you can handle

were you just too weak
to realize that?

Or does God put too much not realizing it?

Oh boy, this is tough! Rage not dampened by thirty-three years of time.

What can I say . . . you put it all out there in words I couldn't match, and I understand your anger (actually hurt masquerading as anger I think).

Nothing I say can help ... but I will touch you with my heart, my friend . . . it's all I've got.
