stranger

Hello stranger

I have known you forever

and yet some how you are a stranger

I have my life

and you have yours

we are not family

we are not relatives

I am a burden on you

and you are a heart break on me

we are blood and nothing more

hello stranger

you have wronged me

and now I have wronged you

you tell me you love me

and I also lie to you

its time for my departing

its time to show you I can make it

you will see me again when I make it big

when I make something of myself

you will say I must have done something right

but the only thing you did right with me

is you let me go

you became a stranger

I owe you nothing

we are not my family  

we are blood and nothing more

so its time so say goodbye stranger

like death goodbye is forever

and goodbye I say again

and again what we thought we had will now die

goodbye stranger

you do not influence me

you do not have a part of me

you are dead to me

as I am to you

goodbye stranger

goodbye father

This is crazy, you and I must have a similar relationship with our fathers, because I feel the same way about my dad. Yet, when I write things down I didn't capture what I wanted, but you did it just right. Good job, I love it!
