PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You held me in your arms

but never put down the bottle

you knew how to juggle us

A beer and your daughter.

You must have known how much it hurt me

to realize your number one priority

wasn't even close to your so called family.

I learned when I was 6 what a broken heart was -

You didn't think I would remember

for I was so so young and oblivious

but I remember.



[Chorus]



I remember when my heart broke

and tears that have fell

I remember feeling like it was all my fault

and how I wish my life would stop.

I remember all the restless sleeps

and dreams I would try to make.

I remember learning how to fake a smile

trying to vanish all the memories of me and my Father.

I remember everything.



I loved you for who you were

and I looked up to you, (my one and only Father!)

You could have kept the communication -

you didn't have to stop

the least you could have done was fought

but you left me on that door step

with confusion, pain and a cursed start (of life)

I learned to trust nobody

and hold all the pain inside (my shattered heart).



I remember when...



[Chorus]



I remember when my heart broke

and tears that have fell

I remember feeling like it was all my fault

and how I wish my life would stop.

I remember all the restless sleeps

and dreams I would try to make.

I remember learning how to fake a smile

trying to vanish all the memories of me and my Father.

I remember everything.



Where are you now?

'cuz I have always been right here!

I wonder how many you have drank

and how many times I have entered your mind -

Would it be thought for shot

and tear for every day (since you left?)

I wonder if you think of me,

would you be proud of me at all?

Do you even remember me

and regret all that you gave up?



I didn't have a choice at how my life turned out.

Will I ever get my chance to live out

all the dreams I've dreamed about?

Can I erase everything that I remember

and make me perfect so you'll love me?

Please tell me what I did to you to make you leave

because all of these memories are haunting

and I know that they're not only haunting me.



[Chorus fading out]



I remember when my heart broke

and tears that have fell

I remember feeling like it was all my fault

and how I wish my life would stop.

I remember all the restless sleeps

and dreams I would try to make.

I remember learning how to fake a smile

trying to vanish all the memories of me and my Father.

I remember everything-

Everything.

....Everything....
