A Bullet to your heart
But there is a whole in mine
You’re sleeping the eternal sleep
Finally a peaceful rest you find.
When I see your face in the back of my eyes
It pulls at the strings of my heart
Why does it hurt when a loved one dies?
Dad, when you left I didn't understand,
You just left without saying goodbye
They said that your soul was in God's hand,
But why did he take my father?
Dad, it may be selfish
But God didn’t need you like I do.
What was the purpose of taking a father from his son,
Was it so I could be stronger?
I could have grown to the same person that I am today
There is a emptiness that fills me
An this pain intoxicates me
So its these final questions
That I yell at the sky
Only to have the rain in response
Dad, I love you
So sleep the sleep of the content,
Your boy has grown into a man.

This poem is so sad. I really feel for you, I do.
I loved the lines: Dad, it may be selfish but God didn’t need you like I do. Your last stanza makes it evident that you've grown up. Though I don't know you, I'm proud how you handled the situation. I've witnessed things like these happening and people haven't been as strong as you portrayed yourself in this poem.
Well done and keep growing,

Oh bless your heart
I feel you know that it wasnt your Dad that took his life it was the evil within for when they are on those drugs they have no control of their mind . Please stay away from all the drugs and see your family through you seemed to be a very strong person and your love for your Dad is present indeed . God Bless and save you
