Tell me, daddy dearest
What kind of man thinks the past
Won’t come floating up one day
Without a foul stench to it
Did you tell her about your lies
The cheating you did before innocent eyes
Afraid you’ll fall of the pedestal
She still keeps you on
Did you tell her about your unwanted kids
The ones you conceived and didn’t even miss
Whom missed you like crazy as I did
Afraid she’ll feel unwanted too
Did you tell her about their quest
Your children searching for a father
And your demeaning response
Afraid she’ll see the man you really are
Did you tell her about your lack of love
For them, your own flesh and blood
Afraid she’ll doubt your love for her or
That she’ll alter her love for you
Tell me, daddy dearest
What kind of man thinks ‘sorry’
Will make up for the lost years
And the lack of fatherly love
Author notes
About two year ago i found out that my father has other children (my age). I found out that he conceived them when he was still with my mother.
I found out because these children wanted to know who their father was. He denied that they where his until he could not lie anymore. And now he never calls them and we do not really speak anymore either.
In the poem i am talking about my little (half)sister (who i did know about) and who is living with him. I know he has not yet told her.
I am just angry
Tell me what you think
Love D.L.

Wow this was really wonderful. I never got to know my biological father all that well but I did get to know him a little. It was hard trying to adjust to having a father after all the years of not having one. Thank you for sharing this and I am sorry that you have this upon your soul...
