All I wanted

I feel like nothing will do but to scream at you
Those things you say about me are so far from true
Your words are your weapon more often than your fist
But don't think I forget the times your swing didn't miss

All I wanted was a kiss

She's my light, my love, my life
Her arrival made you lose it
You couldn't help but hurt
Daddy's first kiss lingered with whiskey

All I wanted was to be happy

We are the best you can do, where else would you be?
After all we've been through
Doesn't her sweet face make you cry? Or does she look too much like me?
All I wanted was for you to try

---I haven't written poetry in a while. No doubt my life has been eventful enough full of emotion, I just haven't put pen to paper. The above is what I came up with a few minutes ago after a bout of anger. And obviously sadness still takes over.
