I Hate You "Dad"

by Melinda   Jan 27, 2004


The first time you left my life
I hated you and all the pain
You had caused me and my family cut like a knife
Each and every day I was going insane
Trying to figure out why
How could you leave us without a word
I hated you for making my mom cry
Years flew by and from you we hardly heard
I spent so much time wondering where you could be
And thinking of reasons why you went away
Was it something I did that made you flee
But soon I became glad you didn't stay
I began to think of how it was when you were here
You had caused us so much pain
And every time you were near
The tears would fall like rain
You hurt my mom - both in body and mind
As a family we began to move on
And happiness the four of us did find
I was so glad you were gone
But it still hurt when you didn't call
Holidays and birthdays would come and go
And we never heard from you at all
I hoped somehow you would know
How much we hurt
How could you be so mean
You made us feel lower than dirt
But one day you just came back
And expected to start clean
It was so hard because for so long there had been a lack
You expected for us to become a family once more
After so long, it felt so wrong for you to act like my dad
As my daily life changed, my heart became sore
Because all the changes were for the bad
You moved my family away to another state
While I chose to stay behind
Once again I began to harbor hate
Without my family, I felt like I was losing my mind
But I knew my mom truly loved you
So I tried to ignore it all
It was so hard and I didn't know what to do
Because my trust in you began to fall
Deep down I knew that one day
You would cause us a lot more tears
And we would be the ones to pay
I was right...It only lasted a few years
You were drinking a lot
And lies from you is all we heard
You swore you would change but of course you did not
And without another word
Once more you up and left
But not before hurting my mom one time more
I want you to know you are guilty of theft
Because you stole her heart and walked out the door
I hope you know how much I hate you
And never again will I call you my dad
I hope for the rest of your life you have to suffer too
And experience all the hurt we have had
I want to have no more to do with you
And I hope that everyday
You wish there was something you could do
Or maybe something you could say
To make me forgive you
But always keep in your mind
That there will never be anything you can do
Because forgiveness from me you will NEVER find
