Dysfunctional Poems - Poems about Dysfunctional

Ring, In one short conversation: First lie- you paid for grandparent's funeral. No, it was already paid by them in advance thru someone else. Second lie-you know she didn't like father; no, I despised father. The father abused me, because he knew about the real father. Third lie-It was all about the poisoned chicken, innuendos and leading him...

I was happy in a dysfunctional relationship Never wanted to leave this man Who put me down and made me feel Like I was just a little crazy Or maybe – a lot crazy We had something special even though it hurt The way we tortured one another with love That should have been faithful and true But was really adulterous and shrewd I...

Born with an inner compulsion, She will never be running free, For she must be held away from dogs, Lest she bite one on foot or knee.

Duty bound by family ties we feel a weighted anchor Yearning freedom as we’d like it to be Sinking into a catch 22 every time Frustrations get the better of us all Until we break and then make up Nothing seems to stop the cycle Consuming time we can’t get back Trying to fix what we think we must Irrational though it seems Our...
