Dad

When I was born no sound Just nothing it was just quiet The doctor just stood there Blank faced, Worried Then finally a cry No food or water For months They took me away Before my mom could see me My “dad” was sitting there playing On his phone Why? Few months later Bad things started to happen You left Then 3 months later you came back. Just cause you had to leave Doesn’t mean you have to be this way You didn’t have to leave But you did anyway I needed you anyway But I guess you didn’t need me You never acted right But that didn’t matter But sometimes it did affect us You didn’t have to leave Just cause of an incident That you took another way I was only dinner with a friend with my mom. Nothing happened Just dinner We didn’t get to say good-bye We just left No reason that I knew Till’ the other day. You didn't have to hurt her. Not her. Not me. Nobody.
