Daddy The Stranger

I have vivid memories of daddy but daddy isn’t here

He left us after years of torture but daddy never cared

Mummy cared and daddy left her in despair

Daddy forgiven would be like “daddy we forgive you

We forgive you for your alcohol abuse and the torture that you put us through”

How could I forgive a man that hated his own?

I came from the womb without a father, just like lightening catching led thorn

I caught your hatred similar to the way you caught my anger

A teenage boy who become a man looking through the eyes of a stranger

In my dreams I catch you looking at me, but I don’t know who you are

I dedicate this to you daddy, the father that became a stranger.
