Why Aren't You Here?

I have been waiting for you to come home

You normally come home around 4

Its 7 now

We were just at the pool

But you were at work

Stacking shelves

Driving huge semi's all across Ohio

It's been 6 months

6 months since you left us

Where have you gone?

Did you find some place better?

Was I not good enough for you?

Was mommy not good enough?

Were Nick, or Josh?

Were you just sick of us?

Sick of life?

Where are you?

It's been a year

Mommy said you were just thinking

Thinking about what?

Your "thinking" has taken a while

Have you left us?

Are you ever coming back to us?

A year and a half have gone by

Mommy finally told us what happened

Your dead

Your heart couldn't take it any longer

Mommy said you stopped taking your medicine

How was that going to help?

You cancelled your prescription I believe?

Nice going

A year and 7 months

You know, I still have that teddy bear you gave me on Valentines day several years ago

Do you remember that?

I saw the exact same one at Goodwill the other day

At first, I thought that Mommy had gotten rid of it

All because of her stupid boyfriend

Daddy, why did you have to leave us?

Why did you have to stop taking your medicine?

Is it my fault?

Since we fought so much?

Did you just want to leave me?

I'm sorry if I was the reason

I'm sorry if I gave you so much stress

I love you Daddy

I just want you back

Author's Note

It has been a year and 7 months, but my family and I found out right away on the day that it happened.
