Parents of Mine

Where did you go?
the last time I recognized you
was when I was four years old.
Dad you left for work real early,
after mom shoveled the snow..
I couldn't wait till you got home
but one day after work
you suddenly changed.
You walked threw that door,
I yelled "yeah daddy's home."
Your usual smile was a frown
Instead of a hug you yelled at me
and told me to go to my room.
The yelling soon turned into
a belt across my face.
My soul began to turn inward
bitterness and hate was my
new name.
I'm 38 now, every relationship
I've had has failed, that's to bad.
All I've ever wanted was for prince charming
to love me and live happily ever after
I guess thats to much to ask.
I've yet to find my soulmate
if your out there, I just wanted to tell you
GOODBYE!!
