Father

'Daddy, daddy come and play'
That's what I use to say
'Go away and just leave me be'
That's what you would say to me

'Be big and don't cry'
Was another way you'd reply
'Go and play with your brother'
That was yet another

'Maybe some other day'
That's how you turned me away
'Today was the concert, oh, I forgot'
I remember that one a lot

'When You're big you'll understand'
Now I don't and its still out of hand
'I don't care, you're just a kid'
That was your response no matter what I did

'Your mom's not the boss, I am'
Then the door would always slam
'Do this and do that'
Commands were all you ever spat

'I'm sorry, I really am'
Why should I give a damn?

'Daddy, daddy, come home today'
That's something I will never say
