Missing You

MISSING YOU


I lay awake at night,
Thinking about the day that you went home.
Nothing seems to be right,
I wish they had been some sign for me to have known.

Dad I miss you so much,
When I needed someone you were right there.
I would love to feel your loving touch,
The pain is more than I feel I can bear.

I keep remembering you would want me to be strong,
Lord knows you taught me that.
It just seems to be such a mistake and all wrong,
And how I miss our father/daughter chitchat.

I promised you that mom would be taken care of,
Even though I was treated different and always will be.
I always tried to show both of you all my love,
But sometimes mom couldn’t accept me for being me.

Sometimes you seemed to understand,
When mom and I wouldn’t see eye to eye.
But mom always had the upper hand,
And just to spend time with me you would work the day good-bye. 

You taught me so much throughout the years,
Even being a girl I can do most things a guy can do.
You always said the clouds would clear,
And to your spouse always stay true.

Now there is no way to figure this ordeal out,
It’s already done and lasts forever.
Except to keep following the same route,
So that together we will be again, hell here on earth I will have to endeavor. 

I pray that your memories and God’s loving grace will give me the strength that I need.

Daddy

DADDY,

As a little girl I would follow you around,
Trying to take bigger steps to keep up because you walked so fast.
No greater dad in my eyes could be found,
The memories of being daddy’s girl will always last.

I love you dad with all my heart,
You have taught me to be strong.
Even when things seemed to be falling apart,
You would tell me to bear with it, it wouldn’t last long.

You were always there for me,
No matter what I might need.
So much love in your eyes I could always see,
Even though the words were few and far between.

I use to get on you for talking so loud.
If I would only have known,
Instead I would have been telling you I was so proud.

If anyone had a care,
You were quick to help fulfill their need.
Loosing you daddy is so hard to bare,
But from all the work and worry you have finally been freed.

I don’t want to let you go,
You were my solid rock of stone.
Oh, how I will miss you so,
With you around dad, I never felt alone.

Daddy now you can finally rest,
And your precious memories will always be with me.
And I promise to always try my best,
To be as strong as you always had to be. 

Love Daddy’s Girl,
Kel

Wandering Why

Sometimes I wonder why I am here,
I grow tired of the fighting to survive.
Death is something sometimes I don’t fear.

There is pain inside,
But I don’t want anyone to see.
To myself my true feelings I confide.

A fake smile takes the place of the emptiness,
That way no one will know.
I surround them with pleasantness.  

Overwhelming feelings make me want to explode,
They rush in like a flood,
I try to stay rationale, but the grip I can’t hold.

Nothing is done right,
Guilt, Shame, What else do I have to face?
Just wanting to disappear to some other place.

 Taking something sharp across the skin,
Pain takes over and the blood runs.
Sorry but this is the only way that I can win.

Can'T Let Go

You left us so quick,
With no time to say good-bye.
We didn’t even know you were sick,
It just feels like it must be one big lie.

So much I wanted to say,
All the things we had planned to do.
At night all I can do is ask God while I pray,
To not let it be true.

You was always tough as a nail,
Nothing could ever get you down.
You was never weak and frail, 
And very seldom would wear a frown.

From a little girl to a woman,
I have never stopped needing my dad.
So many times I could have ran,
But you told me to stand tall, even when things got bad.

Sometimes my heart feels like it is going to break,
I just want to scream and cry.
I keep wondering how much more this mind of mine can take,
Before this body of mine must lay down and die.

The tears don’t easily flow,
I keep thinking that everyone is wrong.
They just don’t understand and know,
That you will come back home before long. 

Dad, I need you so,
I just can’t let you go!
