Dad?


They love each other They have to! Don't they? He can't threaten to leave! It's not fair! Not to her, not to the little boy. Not to me! He can't make excuses He can't leave us He can't leave me! He made the boy cry The boy that never sheds a tear That boy doesn't deserve to feel this way! He is yelling And packing And telling us to sht the hell up God damn Bitch Useless I do more shit then you do! Piercing words thrown around in anger Doesn't he know we need him! Doesn't he know we love him! Doesn't he! Of course not He wouldn't leave if he did... Would he? I want my dad back Even though he gripes at me I need my father I love him... I need him... I want my daddy home!
