Mom And Dad Poem by Theresa Short

Daddy you seem to leave with out a care,
Yet I come to you with words to share,
I never got an I love you or I miss you at all,
Each nice I use to crumble and fall,
I would always ask when will you and mom come back?
Everyday same answer which was a fact,
I was only 3 but learning fast,
That soon my heart would need a cast,
You left me just a few months after mom,
It hit me like the world got an atomic bomb,
I was always the weird one people would bully,
It wasn't my fault though, yours and moms truly,
I wasnt so hurt then but I am at this time in my life,
The bullies tourtured me so I almost had a knife,
All I did was want to be 'normal' That never happened for me,
I just wish after all this you and mom could see,
The pain you caused me the birthdays and christmas's you missed,
The fact all I wanted to to have a mom and dad and to be kissed,
The family love, not neglect and despair,
To this day I know it was not fair,
I didn't deserve it at all,
I did not know you could be down this far from a fall,
My heart is forever broken in a personal way that will never heal,
Even if a young boy was here to have a steal,
Daddy you came back after all these years,
I can't see you but only talk and letters but you should feel my tears,
I miss you and mom each and every day,
It will never go away,
Forever I will live with what you two have done,
The fact that for many how I turned out they would be stunned.
