Daddy

by Lauren   Apr 18, 2009


All I ever wanted was a daddy who was true,
Someone who would listen,
But that daddy isn't you.

Who are you? I never really knew,
Needles are your kids, that's what caused our division.
All I ever wanted was a daddy who was true.

Remember things we'd once do?
Those times you'd take me fishin'
But now that daddy isn't you.

Alone in everything I went through,
My heart shattered those years you were missin'
All I ever wanted was a daddy who was true.

You were supposed to be there and watch as I grew,
By myself for 16 years, thanks to your addiction,
That daddy isn't you.

You gave up your family, our hearts now askew,
Don't wonder why the tears on my cheek glisten.
Because all I ever wanted was a daddy who was true,
That daddy never was, and never will be you.

    This is an outstanding poem, it brought me to tears.
    Mostly because I can relate to this poem alot if you are talking about drug addiction, and it's so sad how true it is. :(

    This is amazing, well done.
