Father

My father left me a few years back, and the simple conversation I had with him yesterday made it feel like he left again. Reopening all wounds.

There he goes again

Leaving his kids behind

My pain can just begin

As our conversation can only remind

He was there for me once

I mean only kind of

And that weight is tons

 But I know I do love

My sister gets a better life

Good

She won't have to strive

It's about time my parents stood

I love him dearly

He is my father

But only barely

His other family, he would rather

He talks like an adult

It's about time

My emotions catapult 

As I write this Rhyme

My father hurt me

He left in a time of need

That was a huge fee

And was based on greed

At least that's what it felt like

When he left for her 

Through my heart, a spike

You damaged me for sure

No contact for a year

Maybe two

I don't know how to steer

Through

You talked for a little

Then left 

Making my life a rhiddle

And the world alone I heft

Cora is more needy

I get that now

It's not greedy

But I can't understand how

You can take one child

And forget the others

That is mild

Never mind me and my brothers

You have grown

to see just how

 You F***ed your own

Children as of now

I hope you learn fast

Cora needs a dad

Something I never really had

So don't you make her an outcast
