Dear Dad

When will I break?
This smile so fake
The hidden cries
Tears fill my eyes

And at the end,
This broken road will never mend
This pain just keeps getting stronger
And the days just that much longer

Now that you're gone
And you have moved on
No more hearing your voice
Even though I know you would say it was my choice

Ten months & twelve phone calls
As another tear falls
Every call from me
And you, on the other end saying "Let me be!"

Knowing you don't care
This mask I will wear
Hiding how I feel
These tears are way too real

This is far to hard to bear
The relationship we once had is no longer there
So cut me off, I'm no longer vital to you,
Hide me from your view

Tears fill my eyes
The hidden cries
This smile so fake
When will I break?
