Dying alone

When I was a child I was afraid that my dad would die alone
Depressed
I would never have a mom
Funny how I thought not having a mom was so bad
I cried because how could she leave me alone?
How could she leave my father so broken
So alone
So afraid of the same thing his daughter was
I prayed every single night for God to give me a mommy
God to save my daddy
Help him find love
But when he met the step bitch I wished every single day to take back the prayer
Said for 8 years if I could change one thing in life it would be to never pray for that
And now as I sit here
Orphaned
Because my father chose that woman over me
I am no longer afraid of my dad dying alone
No longer longing for a mother
My dad died years ago when he sold his soul to her
And I'm better off here
Dying alone
Depressed
