I blame me

Dear Dad;

I still can't believe your gone,
How could this be?
Two years in February,
Try to listen closely.

I wish I knew you better
Somehow I take the blame.
If I went with you that horrible day
Everything would still be the same.

But, instead I blew you off and went with some friends.
The biggest regret of my life.
Now your laying in your own coffin
I wish you didn't go through that strife.

You were murdered, you were killed.
And nobody's to blame but me.
If I went with you that horrible day,
My eye's wouldn't still be teary.

But you were slaughtered like you were nothing,
Didn't they know you were loved?
You left behind a broken daughter
To the side, my heart was shoved.

You were the saddest death anyone has known
You always had a smile on your face.
Making goofy faces and actions to back it up
You had some sort of grace.

You bought me everything I wanted;
Gave me morals and respect.
Taught me how to treat other people
Your words made a great affect.

I love you dearly; I love you forever
I hope you'll wait for me.
Because when I die, I'll be with you
And we can go back to being family.

I love you.
