Memories

 

When I was young

I used to sit and watch the clouds go by

I’d spin till I got dizzy

I’d fall back and watch the world spin before my eyes

 

I had no fear

That was evident

I could run for countless hours in the heat

I’d ride my beloved bike up and done the street

 

At night we used to sit down at the table

As a happy family

We used to sit and watch one television show

With out a fight occurring

 

Late on everything began to fall apart

Little by little

We left that happy family part

In the past, each year a new one was added

 

While she slept all the day

The other sat in front of the computer all day

Only talking to us when we got in trouble

Or when we were sent outside

 

While she was at work

He’d talk to other women online

Before they’d get off he’d tell them

Baby I love you

 

The world before me began to fall apart

One day he was there

The next he was not

There is not a day that I don’t wish for him to come back.

It was very moving. I understand what you mean as I get older I feel like me and my family keep drifting apart. We might as well be floating on our own continents.

that was beautiful; sad, but very well-written &very expressive.

courtney, i promise i wouldnt ever do that kind of s**t to you. i, personally, feel your dad is an a*s. sorry to say, but i dont think he desurves four beautiful girls as his own. he shouldnt be a father if he doesnt know how to dedicate his life to the children he helped brought to life.
