My Real Dad

You used to walk me to school. When you left us I felt like a fool. I miss your hugs & kisses. Nothing came true from my wishes. I always thought you'd come back. One day your things you'd pack. I have a cat now. I want to save all the chickens, pigs, & cows. I haven't eatten meat for 20 years. I never drink alcohol not even beer. I don't do drugs or smoke. All I've said is no joke . You were a talented artist. At 13 I had a tumor. It wasn't just a rumor. A part of my childhood you missed. My forehead you used to kiss. I'll remember your laugh. Without you I wasn't whole just a half. When you were gone that's what I hated. My life was degraded. I wish you had been there. I wish you could care. I never had a real home. I always feel alone. Even though I am now grown. Everything feels done & over. Where does your ghost hover? I'm sorry your dead. All your letters I read. Not enough was said. Nobody made sure you got fed. ed.
