Waiting

why did you have to leave
couldnt you stay a little longer
lonelyness in me is a lot more stronger
i know i will see you again 
untill then my heart will mend
so much i miss me and you
with memories that feel brandnew
so untill i meet you there
my heart pain it shall bare
please can you hear what im saying 
come back for me daddy
im still here waiting

Reminds me of CATS IN THE CRADLE, Julius La Rosa has a beautiful version of it on Youtube. Nice poem you have written, I hope your Daddy stays longer next time.
