Daughter to Father

Memories are rushing through my head
Images I need to forget.
I can't though....
I look at the crystal box you gave me,
and tears are filling my eyes.......
I can't trust anyone now.

Come on, Dad!
I went 6 years without a father.
A 6 year old girl seeing her father for the first time...
I thought you were so great
I thought that there would be no secrets
anymore.

Finally I saw you again...
I was 8 years old.
I gave you a hug
a smile
a kiss, but inside I was asking "why?"

Two years later....ten years old
once again we meet
but this time you had a secret to share
a bigger thing than just
a change of jobs or a new girlfriend.

"I have 2 brothers!"I screamed
"are you kidding me?
you monster! how could you?
why?
how could you keep this secret from me?"

And so you see, it's all you're fault
that i can never trust again
you promised you'd stay in my life
but look how this poem
is going to end.

I'm almost 12, dad
I've never met my brothers
never got to know you
I'm a "Mom's Girl"
it's true

That's why I'm oh so careful
when i trust anyone
i don't want my heart to get broken
or even worse
stolen.

Why, Dad?
