Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

There's a hole in my heart, where you should've been.

A man not a coward; that's what I wish that you could've been. 

I used to pray and ask God, "Do he think of me?"

Have you ever asked yourself, "Is this the man I wanna be?"

A deadbeat; a man who doesn't have time for his daughter? 

A man with the audacity to call himself a father?

Supposed to be my first love, but you was my first rejection.

Overcome with self-hate; mirror mirror, I'm your reflection.

When you came around, it's like you tried to buy my love.

Evey time you pulled me in, you'd turn around and started to shove. 

I turned 20 last year; still haven't heard from you.

Not only did you miss birthdays and holidays; you missed graduation, too.

There will always be a void, due to the lack of your presence.

I guess you're just a sperm donor because you were never a parent. 

Sincerely,

A Fatherless Child
