You'll Never Be There {dedicated to my dad}

by Second to None   Aug 18, 2009


You always lied
now you left my side
you were never near when i cried
i swore i could have died

You seem so immature to me
i'm thirteen and you seem the age of three
i wish your words would let me be
one day my pain you will see

You are suppose to be my hero
but to me and my sister you mean zero
all those years you pretended to care
all my feelings with you i will never share

You say i am being unfair
but when i see you all i can do is stare
i pick at my nails and look down at my chair
i know you will never ever be there

You wish you never had a kid
if you could you'd put me up for bid
i am who you want to be rid
these past years out of my heart you have slid

You look like you should still crawl
roll up in a corner and start to bawl
you make even me look tall
but when i see you my heart takes a fall

You are always the problem
never the solution
after a while you will see
you are the lock never the key

You are my one and only dad
these past few years you have been doing pretty sad
my mom is slowly breaking
piece by piece of her heart you are taking

You hate how everything i say is true
but i'm not the one who left
daddy, that was all you

    Very nice write. I would've liked to see some punctuation, but other than that, it was a nice write.

    Wow this really hits home I know i put my
    family through hell but they never gave up on me and they really should have . I must have tried to stop using a million times but
    finally I just had enough. thats the only way
    i could really quit when i was stopping for me. all the other times was for everyone else
    and it just don't work like that you have to
    want to stop for yourself but anyway i clean and enjoying my life sober and my family still
    with me and have always been. I hope no I
    PRAY the same thing happens for your family
    too. I like your writting style the way you called your dad a baby without saying it
    that was cool your rhying was awesome
    all together a excellent poem you make me
