Gone

You raised me as if I were your own, 
showed me love that I had never known. 
You helped mold me to who I am today, 
and despite the fact you feel betrayed, 
Just know you're not the only one, 
I've felt it too since you decided to run. 
Was it your only choice? Who knows, 
but what you reap you certainly will sow. 
I do miss the times that we spent, 
I sometimes wonder where they all went. 
I miss who you used to be, 
and alot of people see alot of you in me. 
And even though you cant see it now through my additude, 
just know words could never express my graditude. 
You wanna know why we dont talk? 
Because you no longer walk the walk. 
You pass off all responsability, 
and your ignorance is now a liability. 
You are the kind of man you raised me not to be, 
you act like a child, thats me speaking truthfully. 
So next time you get mad while drinking a beer, just remember im the one here, 
putting food on the table, 
because you're not able.
I'm the one that stepped up like a man, because you got up and ran. 
Walked out once you got problems, 
and left me here to solve them. 
I dont mind though i'll keep doing what I need, 
and continue to take the lead.
You taugh me thats what a real man is, 
and even though you vanished, 
I still love you from the bottom of my heart, 
I just dont have time for you, because im too busy playing your part.
