Undelivered Letter To My Dad
Dear dad
I doubt you remember the first word I uttered
Having a hard time recollecting your memories in my nervous system
When you are that young, feelings are not altered
You did not pounce on the opportunity of unconditional love
Instead, you let go, you left love unattended
If these words are not bouncing off a shield, that means you never fought for me
All I needed was two minutes
I do apologise if I was the kid you never wanted
God is still having a hard time disposing off my tears; he can't give them back to me
You substituted life with material things; I hope it's what you wanted
All I needed was you, nothing else
Despite your actions, in my heart I still defended you
Paint a picture perfect day I will spend with you
All these efforts to no avail, but I was left staring disappointment in the face
The questions I had dissolved with time
Yes, anger consumed me until I was forced to attend to it
You'll be surprised as to how much pain human beings can endure
By the way, she still loves you, I do not know why
I decided to live for her
She sees you in all of us
Unfortunately that is the love you will never be able to get your hands on again
I forgive you.
Until we meet again
Your loving son
