A Dad In the Past

He asks me all the time Mom why did you leave dad behind I told him it was never the plan but, you dad is not ready to be a real man Like attend doctor's appointment or take you to the park Or a trip to the beach to play in the sand Or make trips in your room to turn on the night light because your scared of the dark On Christmas and birthdays no cards or no toys But the worst part of it all you never even call and when you do your a lying fool Making promises that you know you will break How much more do you think we can take So I'm ending this now for my son's sake Your a dad in the past and your lies were a blast
