Daddy

Daddy,
dear 'ol dad.
Why wasn't you ever there,
how come I'm not sad?

I guess because it's not new,
cause you haven't ever been here.
If i needed you,
you were never near.

I don't miss you at all,
I never said you were my dad.
Why would i miss something,
that i never really had?

I never called you daddy,
I never claimed you.
A dad is always there,
a father is always true.

I won't cry because your not here,
I have a dad in my heart.
Its not you though,
your not even a part.

My papa was always here,
my Uncle Frankie too.
My Uncle Bill and Uncle Earl,
now there love was really true.

They was here for me,
because you were not.
I'm not complaining,
they are more than you'll ever be and i love them a whole lot.

I don't hate you,
but I definatly don't love you.
You are basically a stranger,
why would I care for someone I never knew?

I know what you look like,
If I saw you, I could even point you out.
I wouldn't say hey, or even smile,
you know what this is all about.

I'm sorry you wasn't here,
I'm sorry that you never cared.
I have a whole family that loves me,
and I don't think they want to share.

It's okay, I'll forgive you,
because I promise not to hate.
But remember I forgave,
but I never will forget.

You always liked my sisters better,
thats okay I have people that love me.
So go ahead with all your girlfriends,
I don't care, don't you see?

Next time that you see me,
on the streets or in a store.
Don't say hey or wave,
because I don't like you anymore.
