Daddy
Why did you have to die?
I know many who'd love nothing more than fate to befall their own father
So why was it you instead of them?
I needed you.
I need you.
I will always need you.
Why did you have to die?
I may have gotten to where I am today without you being there, but don't think you didn't play a part.
You've been there, unseen. But always pushing me to succeed.
And I thank you, I couldn't have done it without your help.
But why did you have to die?
I'd rather you have left us
or been extremely abusive
so I could hate you.
Hating is much easier than feeling sadness.
But instead you had to die.
I know it wasn't your choice.
You were 23, in the prime of your youth.
Had a girlfriend, a kid, and a good job.
Parents and siblings who loved you, friends who cared.
These things will never die.
I love you so much daddy, I never will stop.
No matter what happens, I will keep you in my heart.
But I wish you wouldn't have died.
Because a part of me died along with you.
And I miss both.
