Dad, why weren't you there for me?
When I was locked out and forgot my key
When I went tot the park and got stung by a bee
When I fell down and scrapped my knee
Each birthday you weren't there, you forgot the date you didn't care
I sit and wonder where you are now
I try to call but mom didn't allow
Why didn't you call?
Why did you leave me?
Look into my brown eyes it's tears that you see
You say you love me but you don't, I'm the one who loves you
Mom has to work 3 jobs cause you didn't do what a father was suppose to
It's because of you I stay awake at night, I grab paper and my feelings I write
Why did you come home late?
Why were you drunk dad?
Why would you ruin everything?
Why did you make me sad?
I have 13 father's day cards
for 13 years that you've missed
13 poems I write
13 cuts on my wrist
I remember the day that you got up and left
I only had 10 cards on my shelf
I've counted my cards since I've begged you to stay
This is my 14'th card
There's only two things left to say
Good by jerk
and have a bad father's day.
