dear dad,
I remember when I thought you could do no wrong;
now I realize all the wrong things you've done.
but I would instantly accept your apology
if you were man enough to give me one.I needed the kind of dad who would intimidate
every stupid boy who wanted to date me,
look them in the eye and make them afraid
to break me.when I was in a puddle of tears
from feeling not enough,
I needed a dad to pick me back up.
I needed your guidance, your presence, your love,
and I swear if you took one step toward me,
I would run into your arms.but you keep walking away,
and I'm too tired for the chase.
so I sit with the sadness
because it's the only thing that stays.
