The End

I heard you speak the words today
that I was always afraid of hearing
I have something all my own now
I thought I was done healing
But your tongue has lashed new wounds
Not knowing what to say or
how to feel  I flip the phone closed
and keep walking
Your voice still ringing in my head
Far from dead
You leave me broken
-AGAIN-
I can mend, I can keep going
Still not knowing whats to come
I keep telling myself that but
looking back I wonder
how and why what we had
could ever die
But it is
Bit by bit we lay it down
Deeper and deeper into the ground
Laid to rest with all the rest
of my heartaches and heartbreaks
I've left behind
This was my family
YOU were my family
Can I start this over?
Can I make a new family?
Its missing you, Daddy
The end so true
Taking each other for granted
this is where we've landed
Both of us in the arms of someone new
Are we being true?
Is this not a dream?
Going through pictures from beginning
to-when? THE END?
how can this be?
Chasing me-away
Chasing you-away
Too late.
Too far gone to turn around
No longer hearing the sound
of a happy ending - with you
I've lost your hand
You've lost my hand
Now here we stand
holding the hands of someone new
The end so true
So why am I still thinking of you?
I'LL NEVER KNOW
LET GO

Author notes

Daddy was what I called my ex because of our son. Not really about MY dad, sorry for the confusion...

    No change

    I still think it's a beautiful write and I like your method of pouring out your feelings here .... it is so good, in my opinion, It makes me want to 'help' you - make you better. If you are as young as your picture appears, I have no doubt you'll be just fine.

    Keep up the good work.

    Very Good

    Interesting write. One never loses a good father. Bad ones are lost at the beginning.

    If there is a shred of love left between you - cherish it, and then move on with your own life to ponder. His will be fulfilled if you tell him.

    Nice write,
