Cursed

A sweet young woman falls in love with a cursed young man,

cursed with hatred,

cursed with resentment,

cursed by his father,

who bears the same curse.

The sweet young woman births two boys,

cursed.

Bright young boys,

loving, polite, and do as their parents tell them.

From a young age the man taints their minds,

showing them only the negatives of their little worlds.

Their minds can't help but search for evidence of a kind, beautiful world out there somewhere.

If the man knew of a world in which things like beauty and tenderness existed,

he would have, no doubt, showed it to his boys,

for they are the only beautiful things in his rotten, cursed world.

But he knows of no such place.

The only signs of tenderness the boys see are from their mother and each other,

but this tenderness from their mother is tainted in their minds by her unconditional love for the cursed man they call father.

The boys dream of a beautiful little world in which the sun shines,

without hesitation,

its tenderness down on them,

but when they wake,

the sun does hesitate,

then decides to hide behind the darkness of the word "father".

They hate the man that loves them more than anyone else,

and he hates them back,

for his cruel world offers no love without an equal amount of hate.

Cursed, sick, tormented.
