Half of Me That I Regret

I remember when I stood on his feet dancing I remember seeing his face on my birthday every year Then, He stopped showing up before half of my life started His smile became a distant memory The way he held me faded The gifts he bought me didn't cover the pain His phone calls stopped coming So, We moved. My mom told him the new number But, He never called until one day... He asked to see me And, I screamed NO! Ever since then, The phone never spoke I put up a wall from him I learned to never let anyone in Then, The scar formed in my heart. The first crack was made I've been hostile, rude, nasty, and unresponsive ever since.. So thanks for leaving and never returning.. I will never let you in my life ever again When I walk down that aisle and stage, You won’t be there To: all of those young teenagers without their father in their life... I've been there too
