if you got to know me..

how could you just leave a part of you

you never got to know

how could you abandon me

and not stay to watch me grow

im sure you would have liked me

and liked the things i do

im sure you would have liked me

just as much as id like you

i never understood why you never came around

it looks like what is lost is never to be found

im sure if you were around things wouldnt be that bad

i wouldnt always be so somber i'd finally have a dad

ouch! this one hit me personally. i know how this feels, been there...my own was on the road all the time supposedly "on a business trip", but was actually with some girlfriend...and when he was home, i'd get friendly with his fists...
i can't tell you how much this touched me, the sign of a true poem. damn.

I can honestly relate to this because I have been in a similar situation recently. When that person just acts...I don't know...like they are a part of you and then they are gone...it is very hard to cope. My dad committed suicide when I was five. >.> So I know how it feels to not have a father. But I am speaking about people in general. Friends and loved ones...sometimes just drift away.

I guessed that you are talking about your dad .... you wrote a very beautiful , sad poem here ..... you should love what you have , its his lose .... maybe one day he will realize that xxx
