Absentee of a Father

The feeling of doubt is when you have emptiness in your heart
Your thoughts when your brain won't function the sadness and depression is consuming the darkness from the inside out
It's when that someone who you loved so much just left and you don't know why
The only thought that comes to your mind is it’s my fault
I’m the reason he left cause, I'm such a screw up and a mess that he doesn't want me
His own blood, His own family just like that gone I keep wanting to talk to him but if I let him back in all the memories flow In and disappointment comes
The times he made excuses why he couldn't see you  and you want him so bad to be the father you’ve  always wanted 
For him To be the person to walk you down the isle but he hasn't been there not for achievements, dances, high school experiences, birthdays, and holidays.
You  know you  have to forgive him for what he has done for gods sake but does he deserve that
A parent who abandoned his only daughter
You have Brokenness because of him the deepness of my pain breaks me every time you  try to be happy
You try to forget him but it's hard to forget that your own father is absentee .
