My Father


Dear Father

You left me behind

Sleepless nights I cry

Twenty years have passed

Only my memories will last

My two sisters before

weekend after weekend you came

but i was slowly forgetting your name 

you left us girls crying

our mother only hoping

that you slowly wouldnt come back

Now that i am older

and i have learned the complete truth

you not only left me

you left my sisters too

you told my mom that you wanted no more kids

to go sleep around town, bed after bed

2 more brothers and a sister

we all share a last name

I dont really know

these kids i call family

I try my best to understand

as you hold out a welcoming hand

you came back to me

after years of hiding out

i did my best to give you love

only to get pushed and shoved

i came to you in a time of need

you only left me begging on my knees

finally i gave up

i quit pushing my luck

im over trying to get you back 

im officially turning my back 

your not my dad anymore

have fun with my step mom whore
