Father

I remember that night so clear.
The night we left you.
When you would no longer be here.
I didn't have a clue of what to do.

I saw not emotion
When there should have been some in your eyes
You thought you gave us devotion
But all you gave was a whole lot of lies.

I wish I knew you.
Each and every day.
I wish that this wasn't at all true
Listen to what I say.

It hurts to no longer be wanted by you.
To no longer be your little girl.
But when I think of how you were untrue,
It makes me want to hurl.

The way you treated my mother,
The screaming late at night.
And the pain you brought upon my brother.
We now finally see the light.

I don't need you anymore.
No longer need your lies.
Or the way you call my mother a wh***.
Tears will no longer fall from my eyes.

The pain is still there,
I must admit.
And I still have a little fear,
When it was my mother you would hit.

But to this day.
I no longer call you my dad.
So this is what I say.
You never realized what you had

All of this has made me strong,
And you Father, were terribly wrong.
