My Daddy<3

My daddy, sweet & kind.

My daddy, supportive & hard to define.

I love you, I do.

I sware that's true.

I never meant to hurt you.

I need to do what I feel's best for me.

& that meant leaving. 

I'm sorry. I am.

I hope you don't feel scammed.

I feel ashamed, I'm filled with all the pain. 

I know you feel the same. 
It's hard to explain.

You're struggling, I can see.

I wish I could help you, & make you feel not so blue.

Thank you daddy for having me, & helping me make all my dreams.

-I miss you daddy & I love you. Noone one could ever compare to you, our bound is something that'll never be replaced. 

Author's Note

My parents have just divorced. I've always lived with my dad since I was 6 years old. He's remarried & I just don't fit well with the new family. I'm used to it being just me & my dad. I'm not good at sharing him. & well, he's getting fired. So, I'm pretty torn & upset. Hope you enjoy the poem. Thanks guys.

I'm sorry for your loss. There is no doubt that writing can be very therapeutic, so you are certainly on the right track. I just discovered your writing this AM, and this is the first piece that I have read. I look forward to reading more of your work, and I wish you well. I enjoyed this piece....it is heartfelt, and that comes out loud and clear. Write on!!

This piece catches me on a personal level. The connection between father and daughter is indeed a powerful one. One that stays strong, even over great distance and time. I often wonder how my little girls will handle the inevitable split between their mother and myself. While my oldest is only 5 right now, I feel there is an echo in your words that makes me pause and think about what she will say when she's older.

You last sentence... "bound" should be 'bond' :)

A fabulous piece! Thanks for sharing.
