Daddy, you used to hug me
and you used to always want to be there
but when those hugs diminished
you suddenly didn’t care
You fell out of love with Mommy
but how did you fall out of love with me?
I was your little blonde princess
I thought that’s how it would always be
The day you sat me on your lap
and told me you had to go
my world seemed to get smaller
you just couldn't know
You used to be my best friend
going to football games
when I was only 3
but I didn’t care
because I loved being with my Daddy
...don't you see?
Now you seem so distant
and out of my life
there were times Mommy wasn’t there
and you could have helped my pain and strife
Now that I've grown up
you can never make up for all that was lost
you can never make up for all those lost years
my touchdowns, homeruns, dance recitals, and tears
I don’t want you at my Graduation
and I don’t want you to walk me to the altar
I hope you know how this feels
because the day you said good-bye
you made my world un-perfect
I still have my baby blanket
and my snuggle-bear
I remember walking down
the grocery stores aisles with them
as people watched and stared
I hated how you played a role
and stayed at my side
until that awful day you said good-bye
I came to find out that all my life
my superhero, best friend, and Dad
...was full of lies
very touchy poem by Katherine Marie Howard !
