Dad, Daddy, Father

A short poem about a girl who's father left her at a young age.

Sometimes, I wonder what life would have been like if you just stuck around.

Maybe if I had you, I could have avoided all these break downs.

Alone in bed I sit, tears run down my face,

Empty is how I feel, in this world I have no place.

You lie in my heart, my mind, the blood that pumps through my veins, my every breath, you are a part of me

but what it seems is that, you are not a part of my destiny.

I can never say I lost you, for you cannot lose something which you never had,

But because of your selfish ways, I grew up without a dad.

I'll never understand, why we were never good enough for you,

that you had to go to another women, and have kids with her too.

My mother's heart you broke, my brothers you made cold,

my heart is okay, but what you crushed is my soul.

I can forgive you, even if you don't apologise,

But dad, daddy, father...

you'll always be the reason, for these tears in my eyes.
