Shasta

You have walked in and out of my life
For my entire life.....

For 7 and 1/2 years,
You were dead to me
It hurt me to see pictures of you
Cuz you were barely just a memory
Calling once every couple of months
Always just asking for mom
So you could just ask her for bail
Never wanting to talk to me
About why you left, exactly
Never calling to say Happy Birthday,
Happy Halloween,
Merry Christmas...
Not even a simple how are you doing...

Now that your here
You still don't talk of why you left
Your hiding in your fear
Of how I will react
But I'm not going to hate you now,
Because you came back
Even though it took you awhile
I'm not all that mad
So tell me how you felt
Tell me why you left
Tell me why you were afraid
Of the secrets we both kept

    Oh, my ! Is this about your dad? I'm so sorry! I understand your pain here... my dad was out of my life for twenty years until I took it upon me to find him... but he never was in and out of my life like this.. I had so many "Father figures" that were in and out and back in... left me with little trust for men sticking around long.

    Beautiful write, dear, and I'm sorry you have to feel this way
