Day in and day out I pretend
that when you left it was the end
of hurt feelings and your lies
Wipe the pain from my eyes
You never were my Daddy
You didn't even try to be
No matter how old I get
Your words and deeds I can't forget
There were always things that were
more important, like drinking, for sure
So I thought the pain of you wouldn't last
When you moved away and became my past
Though my future is full of positivity,
I can't help but look back and ask what's wrong with me
Everything that dad said is so, so wrong
My love, my life, proves that I am strong.

Welcome back Christina, your strength flows through your wonderfully emotive words.
Thanks so much GF! I really appreciate your kind words!
Oooooooo CHRISTINA : Nuestra Hermana Cara : Tu Hermana ANGELA aqui ! Thanks for your elegant Poem (rhyming couplets) with a very brave message ! It is sad because PAPAs should be a big PLUS in our LIVES. Brian & I have lovely PAPAs : Brians Dad loves me like a Daughter and My PAPA loves BRAIN like a SON !
Some of your phrases made me cry "You never were my Daddy" "There were always things that were more important (THAN ME)" and the PAIN : has not gone away. I love the positivity in your final stanza :
My future s full of positivity
My LOVE : My LIFE proves that I am strong !
You are a VERY SPECIAL FRIEND to both of us and BRAIN cant wait to be a DAD : God Willing in 2021 ! Lovely to have a special CHRISTINA8 Poem !
Blessings Abundant to You & Your Family
Abrazos y Besos y Amor : A & B 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Angela for that wonderful and positive message. So wonderful that you have great dads. I am sure also that Brian will be a great dad someday! I really do appreciate your uplifting words---will sit and write more after spring break. Blessings also to you and yours!

Christina,
There’s nothing wrong with you! As you said, your “future is full of positivity”! Proceed with that conviction! Your love, your life, is proof that you’re strong!
I wish you and your family all the best!

Oh well, I forgive (but I don't forget!) Thanks for reading!--Christina
some people when they are gone, and for whatever reason gone, leave larger than expected holes in the lives of would be loved ones..... this is a tender, yet anguished poem well writ.... Neville
