Deserted

Why do some people become parents??

 

 

                              DESERTED.

 

 

If you could see me now, you’d see how I’ve grown.

And maybe I’d know why you left for reasons unknown.

A departure you made, so sure you’d never be found.

A curse on you should history come around.

No chance of knowing if there was a bond,

Left alone to survive this raging pond.

A trend you made, not a fashion but still a fad.

Angered and pained should I call you dad?

No male to rely on, no figure of permanence.

A motherly love her best was innocence.

A man you’re called, but a father you should’ve been.

I look inside and hate what I’ve seen.

A likeness of you is natural,

The images it creates are factual.

A willingness to change from being the same,

Disowned and not knowing, I will not play your game.

Away from me you ran, mine I will show how.

If you could see me now…
