Father, Why Me?

Father, why did you desert me when I needed you so? How could you watch me leave and let go? You threw me away like yesterday's dirty trash Why did you take my heart to stomp and thrash? How could you choose a woman over your own child? Acting like I am to blame for being angry and wild Father, why me? I ask you at every chance given Why would you let me alone to figure out living? When my mother left, you looked at me cruelly Thus started you putting my heart on a pulley Father, why did you reject me and my undying love? And when I was on the edge you tried to shove Me over the edge for your own selfish reasons With your parental trust you committed treasons You tossed me out and I grew up all alone I can honestly say I felt fear to the bone So one last time before I am done for good Father, why didn't you love like a father should?
