You knew I was hurt. A wound left unhealed.
3 years of my life, do you know how that feels?
You seen all the pain, the misery I had.
Yet, you seen them, spent Christmas's, never told me - how sad.
You used to be Family, I thought I could trust
Yet 2 years of secrets - your reasons unjust.
You call me your son, but I feel nothing like
Did nothing but love you - from here on, take a hike!
I'm tired of stories and arguments heard
You act like little children - it's totally absurd.
I thank you for making me the man that I am
learned my lessons the hard way - not going through it again.
A miserable old man, what you turned out to be
with a wife that robbed you while you where asleep.
I did not forget those words that you said... Wish I was in the army...
make you proud if I was dead!
Words that your son will never shake - the constant reminder of a family so fake!
From this day forward, my life I pursue
our days as a family you definitely blew!
Author notes
These are the trials and tribulations of my life. Separation from a woman that resulted in alienation from my kids lives. And parents that failed to tell me where I could find them because they thought I would do better off without that family in my life. Making their own decisions on my outcome without enabling me any opportunity to heal from my loss and recover from all the pain I've suffered over the years.
