Alone

adriana1997

You left without a trace

As if it were to be a race 

You left your 8-year-old daughterwithout a father to her

name

And who else to blame, rather than you

Who left her blue

 

I used to cry myself to sleep 

Thinking where did I go wrong 

Was your hatred really deep? 

Couldn't you just hang along ?

 

All the other girls

They have fathers of their own.

In this lonely world

Maybe I'm just prone to be alone.

    WELCOME ADRIANA ~ Thanks for a beautifully written poem full of rhyme and rhythm ~ a beautiful structure for such a sad sad subject. The effect of divorce and separation on the Partner is bad enough but it is devastating for the Children. Every Daughter deserves a Daddy ~ indeed every Daughter needs a Daddy for their mutual pride and fulfillment ! Your poem outlines the situation perfectly form the perspective of an 8 year old Girl. She even blames herself "where did I go wrong ?" If this is autobiographical thanks for having the courage to share. I'm 33 and I still need my Parents so I know how you must feel. Thanking of you ~ BRIAN
