Daddy's Gone

Christina8

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.

      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 !

            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
