Oh Father Loverboy

You left your body six years ago
But you left us long before
The family still cries oh boo hoo
Tears long I have no more

You lived in town and never phoned
Empty promises from you dad
hopes and dreams my eyes had shoned
 crushing silence just too bad

My granite hart you have made
Like the rest of me
A better father made you fade
A new self I became to be


Years later we find your secret life
Stranger friends morning their loss
Families and five times wife
All forgotten to find new boss

Through their fake tears  I miss you not
I remember who you were
Safety silence the family dare not shot
My retaliate might leave us bare.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

Nice. Cuts into the matter's heart with the efficiency of a saw blade.
