Dad

I don't even know where to start

I have so many feelings from deep inside my heart

I remember being little

Sitting up at night

Asking mom if dad would be home that night

With tears in her eyes

She'd smile and say

"Don't worry hunny, he's just out with the guys"

Midnight would be long past

And I'd be fast asleep

The door would gently open

And in you would creep.

Always doing drugs

And chillin with your friends

Only forgot one thing-

It's me, now I'll never mend.

Family should come first

But you put your friends ahead

Now look at your life

Half of them are dead.

Because of your dumb decisions

In my life I've had to suffer

I grew up without my parents

And nothing has been tougher.

A countless number of nights

I've closed my eyes and cryed

So scared and confused

Because I found out you lied.

I like this - it's very honest. I hope your writing helps you get through difficult times - I know my venting with a bit of pen and paper does. Interesting subject as well. Laura
