Remember?

by LockedInEternity   Sep 15, 2006


Remember the day I was born?
Remember the day I turned 2?
Now I feel so stupid remembering,
Just thinking that I had no clue.

I loved you and that never changed.
And I thought that you always loved me.
Not till I was 5 did I realize.
There's a half of you I didn't see.

I thought we were happy,
A family, complete,
What I didn't see.
Is you were living in deceit.

You left us for another woman,
I remember it so well.
Mommy got so angry,
She wished that you would go to hell.

And then that year we left,
How fast 3 years flew by.
Your daughter had turned 8.
Yet still she questioned "why?"

Remember how you came that time?
To be with me one day,
You didn't know that every year,
My birthday wish was so you'd stay.

At least I was your only, right?
But even there I had gone wrong.
I remember every year.
I cried during my birthday song.

When I was nine, I soon found out,
That I now had a brother,
Oh how betrayed I felt from then.
I thought I lost you father.

I thought I wasn't good enough.
I felt as if I'd been replaced.
Another year had gone by quick.
All our good memories erased.

I came to visit you at ten,
To see the competition,
I wanted to get rid of them.
Oh, I was on a mission.

Everyone adored your son,
"How cute, how perfect, smart"
And I just stood there pushed aside.
With a bitter, breaking heart.

But daddy, I still love you.
No matter what you do or how,
Cause it wasn't over then,
And it isn't over now.
