Father

"When you said...you loved me"

I believed you,

I was young then and naive

I didn't know the truth that laid behind your smile.

No one could have prepared me

but it happened

You said you loved me,

but did you really?

Do you ever think of me?

Years have passed and still no call

No visits not even a good-bye

You said you loved me

It's hard to imagine I'm grown now and I still can't trust

I despise anyone who looks out the window

it reminds me of myself waiting for you to come.

No one took me away

You just didn't want me.

You said you loved me

Then told me I wasn't yours.

I carried your name

Your name engraved on my birth certificate

I called you father

and you still walked away

But you said you loved me...
