Dear DAD

by Niki   Feb 13, 2007


Who the hell do you think you are?
This time you really have gone too far
You're meant to be there no matter what
Is that something that you've forgot?

Dad I love you, honest I do
But i hate your lies why can't you be true
Why did you treat mum that way
Whats up now? Nothing you can say?

You haven't been there when I've needed you
Have no idea what I've been through
So don't interfere in my life
After you've caused me so much strife.

I remember the day when you walked out that door
I asked why but you just stared at the floor
You've got a new family should I just let it be
Am I not good enough? Are you ashamed of me?

I know Ive not been perfect, maybe even wild
But please don't forget I'm still your child
Remember how it used to be
When you showed me off proudly on your knee

I don't actually know what I've done wrong
I'm clenching my fists trying to stay strong
I haven't seen you now for 2 years
Where have you been when I've had so many fears?

So today dad I need to tell you
I'm your daughter but you don't have a clue
Your my dad meant to love me so
Please tell me the truth why did you "have" to go?

    The felling of sadness and pain is felt in this write, I am sorry for the things you have gone through hopefully things are better now. May you once again find the peace and joy in your heart.
