May 9th 2011 Daddy
This fake smile is wearing away,
These happy feelings are beginning to stray
“Stay strong,” is all I’ve been told,
But it’s just not that simple after I lost someone
I rarely got to hold.
This heart of mine is giving way and
Too many emotions are being held at bay;
Please, come back Dad, there’s so many things that
I never got to say.
Thoughts of you constantly drip into my mind
And everyone’s telling me to move on, like it’s easy
To leave your Daddy behind!
It breaks my heart knowing I’ll never hear
“I love you Tristy” be spoken by you again
I can’t accept reality, please Dad,
This can’t be the end
