Dad.

I remember the day you left us all alone

that horrible night after you came off the phone,

you got in the car, barely a goodbye

to young to understand but the question is why?

 

I remember you getting out the car, no words was said

i was confused and mum only had tears to shed,

i wondered what was going on, when you'd be home

then mum muttered it was from then on just us two alone.

 

You wern't coming back, you left me in despair

i only wanted that father, daughter bond to share,

when i got home i cried myself to sleep that night

although i was young i knew something wasn't right.

 

Waking up early and sitting by the door

longing to see you come back once more,

you never did, but i continued to sit there

wondering if you really ever did care.

 

Night after night, from morning till noon

waiting to see that illuminous moon

because even though you wern't with me

you'll still see the same moon that i see.

 

I never heard from you for so many years

fighting through life with wondering tears,

was it me? what did i do wrong?

if i was a better child, would you of been gone this long?

 

I gave up hope, the pain you caused took it's turn

the lesson you taught, i could never learn,

then one day i found you on facebook

the months, the years i waited, forever it took.

 

I thought you wouldn't of recognised me

i may of grown up but you could still see,

we spoke and laughed for hours on end

finally my broken heart started to mend.

 

The question i longed to ask drifted out of my mind

because i finally found my dad i waited so long to find,

after months of talking we met after so long

that day, nothing could of possibley gone wrong.

 

I was back with my dad, forever to stay

atleast thats what i thought that one special day,

we met once more after that

all of a sudden, no contact.

 

My world once again left absolutley shattered

hopes and dreams were completely tattered,

broken down and beyond repair

i should of known you still couldn't care.

 

Now i have to find the will to carry on

since now you've left, apart of me has gone,

maybe one day i'll see you again soon

until then i'll continue to stare at the illuminous moon.
