Why Dad

Hey dad this is for you Oh dad…. Why did you leave me? I am alone with no guidance Every time I have a birthday and never get a card I remember the pain you caused Throughout my last 19 years It aint easy to grow up without you But I made it and I am stronger than ever But I made it and am stronger than ever before Daddy why did you say good bye And stop talking to me All I want is to get a card from you or something I sit here every day and am stuck with the sad truth that you wouldn’t send it I don’t know what to do I am lost without you But you never send for me I sat there for 19 years praying hoping to see you And then the day came I saw you for a few years and you disappeared again Leaving me without a man in my life I had no male guidance to speak of But I had my three headed mother that will ever live on I hope to see you still No matter the pain caused you are still my dad and I love you Just remember you have a son who cares and is old enough to understand All I want is to talk To speak To write Something for me to know you care and haven’t forgotten about me Just haven’t forgotten me or else I would truly be lost for good No one will help me I will be lost forever and never to be found No matter what they do The only cure would be you saying I love you I need dad more than ever and don’t know to do without you
