The smile on your face never seemed fake.
Now I see that was a mistake.
Your love is as strong as this pen in my hand.
Yet to some you seem like a loving man.
I will never forgive, or allow myself to forget.
The only feeling I'll ever have is regret.
Regret that I called you my dad,
and that I though of you as a decent man.
Yours is the face that haunts my dreams.
You're the wall around my heart as it silently screams.
Things are only harder when were farther apart.
Nothing's good when were together, it's true.
But I'm not the person who needs you.
Alone in the dark, as my heart falls apart.
Unaware and without care, you leave me alone.
Wishing you would be there, as I call you don't seem to hear.
And you continue on, and once again start anew
as I fade away and join the ghosts of the other people that loved you.
Author notes
My dad is the one person in my life I thought I could look up to, but he's always been the best at letting me down. Even though he hurt me I would always go back, but after all these years I'm done waiting for him to not disapoint me.

Welcome to AllPoetry!!!
This has such a darkness to it...I am sorry your Dad has let you down so many times...One thing, you need to change your background to something more legible. I had to hide the background to read it...
Welcome to AllPoetry! I hope you enjoy yourself on this site!
Blessed Be,
