Goodbye Love

Starting already with 'if I' (or wanting to)
tell me: if I ever meant anything to you.
Father's Day today, so have a good one -
with your only daughter and your only son.

I give up now, Dad. I tried to believe
that you would be here if I needed to see...
What do you think; should I get a tattoo?
I could get 'Dad' but it wouldn't be you.

You are as far as God, really, but 'not quite'.
God counts every tear, you counted every fight,
every fist in my face, every scar, every track
that got trapped into being drugged and dragged back.

Forget every time that I called you my Father,
forget every tear, every time you didn't bother,
forget every call for help, every heart, every time,
forget the glass, Dad, forget every crime....

Forget that I loved you, forget that I cared,
forget everytime that I said I was scared.
Forget that I miss you, forget that I cried,
'cause you can run, Dad, but you can't fucking hide.


Forget every time that I called you my Dad.
Happy Father's Day -
from the kid you never had. x

    wow stunning

    this piece was really moving, you illustrate so clearly raw emotion in a rhyme that doesn't feel forced. Your style is unique, I thought the way you addressed your 'dad' through the style of a happy fathers day poem was a good twist. I liked the conflict between what is and what should be always drawing on your audiences emotion my fave line has to be
    'You are as far as God, really, but 'not quite'.
    God counts every tear, you counted every fight,'
    that was so moving, keep writing, thank-you for entering and good luck
