Dad
all i ever wanted
was to know why
why did you have to go
why did you never say anything
but now none of that matters
what i need you to know
is you were not there for me when i learned how to ride a bike
when i lost my first tooth
when i made it to high school
but now
you're saying you're sorry
but when i ask what for
all you say is
ask your mom
so dad im sorry
im sorry i was not good enough
im sorry that you felt the need to leave
im sorry that you wont get to see me walk down the aisle
im sorry you wont see your grandkids.
but the one thing im really sorry about
im sorry you lost me
so from now on i will just call you
shawn
