Why Dad

Hey dad this is for you
Oh dad….
Why did you leave me?
I am alone with no guidance 
Every time I have a birthday and never get a card 
I remember the pain you caused
Throughout my last 19 years
It aint easy to grow up without you 
But I made it and I am stronger than ever
But I made it and am stronger than ever before
Daddy why did you say good bye
And stop talking to me 
All I want is to get a card from you or something
I sit here every day and am stuck with the sad truth that you wouldn’t send it 
I don’t know what to do 
I am lost without you 
But you never send for me 
I sat there for 19 years praying hoping to see you 
And then the day came 
I saw you for a few years and you disappeared again 
Leaving me without a man in my life
I had no male guidance to speak of 
But I had my three headed mother that will ever live on 
I hope to see you still 
No matter the pain caused you are still my dad and I love you 
Just remember you have a son who cares and is old enough to understand 
All I want is to talk 
To speak 
To write 
Something for me to know you care and haven’t forgotten about me
Just haven’t forgotten me or else 
I would truly be lost for good 
No one will help me 
I will be lost forever and never to be found
No matter what they do
 The only cure would be you saying I love you
I need dad more than ever and don’t know to do without you
