The Day You Never Came

The day you never came 
My love all the same
Strong
Indestructible

Like superman
To cryptonite  
You destroyed 
You destroyed the indestructible

All I wanted 
was for a dad
You end goal
Was to make me sad

You hurt me
Like everyone else

You never heard
My screams for help
My pleading for love
My yearning for affection

You just me as a weapon
A card 
To make other disregard 
The pain they wanted to cause

The day you never came 
My love all the same
Destroyed
Abused

Never again 
Will I feel that love
Unless 
It comes from lies
Lies like you
that rip up insides

Baby don't give anyone the power to change who YOU are.Let not the thief of hearts rob you of the will to love.You will be the one to suffer this decision ,not them.Do not allow yourself to be made into their image.All my best.

Thank you so much. This is about the struggles of being a 10 year old without a father. I wrote this when I was 10. I am now 13.
