Why Did You Go?
What if I was prettier?
What if I was skinnier?
What if I was smarter?
What if I looked more like you instead of my mother?
Would you have stuck around then?
Would you have been the father every girl is supposed to have?
I’ve grown up a lot since you last saw me, you probably wouldn’t even recognize
my face
You will never know the person I will become or what I do with my life
There are times when I wonder if you’re among the many people I pass each day
I will never understand why you left or why you’ve never tried to find me
I tell myself your dead just to feel better about myself
Was it something I did?
I long to know who you are everyday of my life
But something’s I will just never know
