The stranger whom I once loved


Dear dad,

 

I love you

You were my hero, as soon as I was born.

Now you are just a stranger, on who I mourn.

All the laughs and all the smiles, are now gone.

These are some of the memories that will forever live on.

I remember when you would carry me to my bed, when I was a child.

You’ve forgotten about me because now you’re doing it for your step child.

You’re a liar and a cheater, I won’t ever forgive you.

You broke the only family I had, and never cared what we went through.

Don’t you dare come back in my life and think its okay.

A new dad for my brothers and I, is something I pray.

I’ll never get how you can love a stranger more than your blood.

I can feel my cheeks burning, my eyes are at a flood.

I hope you’re happy with what you got.

I hate you for everything you did, but deep down I love you alot.
