To my "father".


You were never there for me nor, have 

you ever been. You were supposed to be,

though. But your priorities were not your

child, for they were nothing but yourself.

You've messed up, and I know none

of it was my fault. Although none

is my fault, I still hurt from the times 

you weren't there to help mom tuck 

me in at night. I still hurt from 

the times where you didn't care, and I

still hurt from the times that you

never called. My heart is broken because 

of you, and I didn't even do anything

wrong to you. I was so young that

I couldn't have done anything wrong.

But leaving at such a young age

causes a lifetime of hurt and

left me with nothing but a broken

heart.
