Daddy

does he know what he doing does realize the pain he will release 

step by step move by move he walks towards his demise with a rope in his hand and intent 
in his mind 

i wonder the thoughts he thought i wonder if he still walks along us 
invisible to the naked eye 

for many say may god have mercy on his soul 

could he have been saved would he want to be save
 
it replays a thousands times in my head picturing him walking to his death 

like a shadow in the background i can scream and i can shout but never can i reach him 
for he is already gone 

disappear from my life gone from his family 
destruction is what he left behind 

memories of your face may fade 
but like a livid scar on my heart the pain and anguish stays forever

Wish I knew the whole story. But I do feel your anguish. Fathers like mothers can be all things good and bad. We try so hard for their approval but sometimes they leave us broken hearted and despairing. Allan
