Wonderlust to Wonder

Wonderlust to Wonder

A Poem by Speak in Silence

Daddy?
Daddy can you hear me?
You face is fading away
This was when I was three

Father 
Dear father
Where're you been?
Nine years, no calls

Heartbroken 
Left to die
What am I suppose to do?
Besides wonder why

My legs scarred 
My body starved 
Tell me daddy?
Am I finally good enough for you to come home?

Author's Note

Speak in Silence
This is just how I feel I guess. It's not that good though. I wrote this the other night at like 2 in the morning, it just came to mind. But isn't that was poetry is about anyways? Putting your thoughts on paper?

A very sad poem for sure. First of all, I am sorry this happened to you. I am proud you're staying strong although at times I know it must be tough. I know nothing about your situation except what this poem has told me. But I want you to know, it's not you keeping him away. You are good enough. Never think that it is your fault.
If you ever need to talk I am here. We could even text if you'd like. I'm here.
Thanks for sharing.

A sad poem. Memories can haunt our sleep. Good to write the words down. Some questions are answered with time. I like the question at the end. Thank you for sharing the poem.

This was one of those things that is beautiful in it's openness and it's simplicity. It's sad and I'd love to say I understand, but I can't really. I'd have to experience it to truly understand and it always drives me crazy when people say that to me so I'll spare you the party line. But I'm rambling, I tend to do that a lot.

Thank you
Very expressive. Strong emotions felt. Poems need not to say more words. A few words can often tell more of the story.

I agree. I'd rather read a short poem filled with tons a emotions than a long one with no meaning.
This might be written and just popped randomly on your mind yet it's still a wonderful piece that can use a heart (: I can well symphatize with the narrator of the poem but yeah, reading something full of feelings is better than something that had no shell at all, right?

This is very full of heart. The passion is wonderful. I just wish for your pain to be mended. Must be difficult.
