I long for you
every day and every night...

I think of you as I sit here on my own
Of how you smiled when I would walk into the room...

I stare at the house before me,
As flames consume it...

You cry softly as you gaze
At the picture held tightly in your hand...

Sometimes I cry when I think of you
Of how you left when I need you the most...

You are the one who inspires me
Makes me want to make a difference...

She was one of the best people you could ever meet
So full of life, ready to take on the world...

Dear Dad I'm writing this
To tell you that I don't hate you anymore...

She walks to school
With her notebook in hand...

Hidden behind the hoodies and the baggy pants
Is someone who yearns to be loved...

I am sitting in this empty room
Gazing at the remnants of a once happy life...

You look at me and say
That I'm a freak, a nobody...
