You were never there

by «-Pale-Petals-»   Oct 31, 2004


I've grown up all this time without you in my life,
You were never around never here,
You stabbed my frail heart with the sharpest knife,
Wondering why your like this will never be clear..

I hated 2 hear my friends talk about their dads,
But i kept inside my feelings,
Not telling anyone about who i never had,
Hoping one day my heart would start healing...

Every Christmas,every birthday, every holiday,
I would sit and wait by the phone,
Wishing you would remember me and call me one of these days,
But u never came through, and so I'm still half alone...

Its your fault I am living with half of a soul,
You never cared about me,
So I'm never going to become whole,
I just want you to realize I'm here so i can be free...

But u never realized, you couldn't bother,
To care about me, or be my father,
I would of even settled for a friend,
But i know it will never happen, You'll never realize what u left out,
But i guess thats what life is all about....

    I can kind of relate to this.
    My dad was an alcoholic, and he wasn't really sober much.
    It's not that he was a terrible father
    I just didn't really know better.
    My parents got a divorce when I was 12
    I was 14 when he stopped drinking.
    I'm 15 now.
    Even though he was "there" with me
    Knowing that he wasn't sober makes it different
    My mom & I think that he drank so much to drink us away
    I was always in the way of what he wanted to do
    My mom was too.
    So he drank and drank until we didn't matter anymore
    And he says that I'm so important to him
    But why did he just now quit?
    Why couldn't he have done it while my mom and I were still living with him?
    Were we not a good enough reason for him to straighten his act up?

    All I'm saying is...
    I can relate.
