MY DAD IS GONE

A letter to my dad.

Well dad, you've been gone for so long now,
and all I wonder is why and how?
Even though I'll never know,

I'm going to stop feeling this low.

i stayed tough when times got rough.
 But you left me behind.
Thinking of you was a waste of my time.
Its been years now & we dont even speak.
By now I know your scared & weak.

Your not worth a tear on my cheek.
It didn't hurt you, leaving me.
There is no love, that I can see.

I wish you knew what I've gone through,

& know I will never turn out like you.

Sometimes life does get bad.

But did you really have to leave me dad?

What you did I know was wrong.

So maybe you should just stay gone.

I'm way past mad.

You are not a dad.

Never a present? Never a call?

Just forget me, and forget us all.

To my "dad", who I will never know, and who I can barely remember.
