Divorcing Daddy
Why did you have to go to Sedona?
Why didn’t you stay in California?
Instead you moved to Arizona.
I never believed you really would.
I didn’t make the time I really should.
I guess we had a chance.
But it wasn’t a simple dance.
At your photograph I often glance.
My thoughts of you are mostly sad.
I never really got to have you for a dad.
My past childhood makes me mad.
The few memories feel glad.
Things happen that are bad.
There’s more things I wish we had.
Occasionally I get an awful feeling.
A need for a peculiar dealing.
I need closure with a sealing.
My spirit got cracked & has peeling.
I guess I need soul healing.
I used to have so much hope.
I never could handle abandonment & cope.
