dear father,

i find myself wondering at times
if you ever were able to love me

if you cared when i showed you my first rhymes
or if you were too blind to see

that i would've given my all
for a father who shows love

for a father who for once didn't ignore my call
who for once didn't make me feel like he was above

and i hope that you know
that until my death bed, i will love you

even if my love had no room to grow
and i asked myself every day what to do

why didn't you notice when i started dating older men
to feel less alone

when i tried to find a father figure in them
i sometimes felt like a clone

but you wouldn't notice if i was one
because i said daddy so many times but never to you

you were never gone for long
but it doesn't matter what i do

cause you were never really here
so i'll look for you in him

while you drink your weekly beer
the lights will be dim

and i'll lay in his arms
and i'll be talking to you and him at the same time

when i say
"daddy, i love you"
