Letter To A Father Poem by Miss Tee

I miss something that I've never had,
a father’s affection and concern, which I never got.
I used to respect, trust and like you;
Even thought the sun rose and set around you.

Father, where were you?
Why did you allow my mother to act as the father?
Others speak of their fathers and boast
While I can’t even present you as a host!

Can you not see how much you hurt me?
I tried to get close, open up and explain.
Inner voice asking you to love me,
To listen, and say that you actually care
But all you did was refuse, reject and walk away.

I desire to forsake that you’ll someday ponder
On the error of your ways;
To bury your ghost forever
So no remorse or anguish shall impose.

Wondering the rationale of loving
Someone who never truly cared or understand,
I hurt to state that I do want to have a father.
As I am full-grown, but still without a father.
