Oh Father Loverboy

You left your body six years ago But you left us long before The family still cries oh boo hoo Tears long I have no more You lived in town and never phoned Empty promises from you dad hopes and dreams my eyes had shoned crushing silence just too bad My granite hart you have made Like the rest of me A better father made you fade A new self I became to be Years later we find your secret life Stranger friends morning their loss Families and five times wife All forgotten to find new boss Through their fake tears I miss you not I remember who you were Safety silence the family dare not shot My retaliate might leave us bare.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Nice. Cuts into the matter's heart with the efficiency of a saw blade.
