But Dad...


You said you'd always be there, Dad.

But Dad where are you now.

You said you'd always care for me, Dad.

But Dad I don't see you around.

Everytime I call you, Dad.

The voicemail is what I hear.

So Dad I do not all anymore.

But that was my biggest fear.

Dad, you were supposed to reach out to me.

But I haven't seen you in years.

Dad, you won't get to see me graduate. 

And I never wanted that to happen.

I have so many plans, Dad.

You won't get to see me attend college.

Everytime I see a girl with her dad

I miss you even more.

Nothing is the same Dad.

And now I am just thinking on the floor.

What about my wedding Dad

Will you even be there to see.

Dad, you will never see your grandchildren

because I am scared of what you may do.

Dad, did you want me to have fear...

have fear of the monster that is in you.
