Dear father,
They say we're blood related, but not the same soul.
They say we're from the same place, but we don't share the same house.
They say we share some interests, but we never do them together.
They say we're family. But no sight of u is seen or heard.

R u really there for me?
Or is it all just a dream?
Will I ever see u again?
Or is it my imagination falling again?
Will I ever hug you?
Or will I fall to my knees?
Will we ever share thoughts?
Or do I just need to give up?

All these things come to my head.
When I'm laying in my bed.
All alone
No sounds or voices heard.
My imagination playing again.
Or is it a sort of revenge?
My heart no longer hurts.
Just a heart that is numb.
The floor I once could touch.
Is a hole that's sucking me in.

The memories hurt.
Knowing they once were there.
Will I ever see my dad again?
Or shall I pretend it never hurt?
