For Dad

Very personal

Dad it's me and I have to ask why did you leave.

I am growing up without you here

I wish I could hate you for leaving us

but I can not stay mad at the dead.

I made big milestones without having you here 

to cheer me on,

other kids sometimes ask

where you are at you do not know

the pain it brings me when I see thier I am sorry

look on your face.

You did not think of the hell it would bring me

saying my daddy died they never ask how

people close to me it was by your hands on a gun

you never thought how it would I would feel when mom told me.

Dad you could of came home instead and watch me grow up along side mom

like any parets would.

I do not get to have you walk me down the isle , be there

when I have kids, and to help out with things in between.

No, you choose a gun blast instead of doing any of that 

leaving me and mom on our own

why dad why?! I do not even remember you cause i was only 3 when you 

decided to leave I am told I am alot like you execept I never take the easy way out

and what hurts the most is when I ask why no one can answer

and I can not be mad because you are my dad and somehow 

I love you.
