Here But Not

You're here with me but I feel so alone, A distance between us I feel has grown. We only talk to each other when passing by, I'm trying to find the answer to “Why?” You spend every minute in the garage, I see you next to me but you're only a mirage. You barely spend time with our boys, They want to play with Daddy, not just their toys! I hear them ask you to play a game, You said, “In a minute.” but never came. I'm doing my best to raise them right, But they constantly argue and fight. I have a hard time with them to listen to me, I need your help, can't you see?! Weekends are suppose to be our family time, Instead you find other things to do, like its a crime. We need you, Daddy, to be in our lives more, You pushing us aside is making us very soar. All we want is you around us, We shouldn't have to beg you or make a fuss. You have no idea how much we've cried, When you ignore us and push us to the side. We're not sure how much longer we can do this, Just know that it's Daddy we miss!
