Letting Go

Letting go of the hope and the dreams

Falsehoods and lies once more have opened up wounds I have healed

A father a role model a stranger with a face I once knew

Why do this to me?

Why start something you cannot complete

Did you not think that by trying to do what you did you would do this

Hurt and confuse someone you were supposed to protect above all others

Every night now I lie here shaking as tears fall

Memories of when you were close to me

When every word you said was filled with love and thought

I'm trying so hard to move forward through this

To let go of the man I thought would always be there for me

From holding me as I took my first breaths onwards throughout my life

My father, my daddy... the man who always be there

You are a stranger

A man I wished I'd been given a chance to love and to know

Please leave me be

Let me move forward again the past is too painful and the present too confusing
