Father

~father~
You're not my father anymore
I miss the old you
Before you left my mom
When I was two.

I still remember the day
I helped you pack
But I didn't realize
You weren't coming back.

You said it was something for work
I remember falling asleep by the door
Just waiting for you to come home
But you didn't, my heart you tore.

Everyday after daycare
I wouldn't say a word
I would run upstairs and pray
That you would someday return.

I remember three years later
I got to come over and stay
I remember you were always busy
You told me to just go play.

I was your little girl
You were my hero
I looked up to you
And your love for me is zero.

You have no idea what you do
Steal and lie
You're not my father I hate you
You always make me cry.

Not having a dad
Sucks super bad
No matter what situation I'm in
Something inside me makes me sad.

Every time I say I love you
I start to cry
Cause I know inside
It's nothing but a lie.
