i needed you
but as i grew
i outgrew
the need for you.

you never cared.

you never dared
to step up and repair
what we never had.

im embarrassed to even call you my dad.

ive cried a lot of tears
wasted a lot of years
believing that you would change
but i was just shortchanged.

jealous of my own sister
who was the victor
in my eyes
because she didn't get your lies.

i hope you get the gist
of the chance you missed
when you put me
at the bottom of your list.

i have one real question though
Dad, do you love me now?
