Dear Dad,
If I can have anything
To make my year complete
It would be to see you again
The hole inside of me
Not to give you all my love
Or for a warm embrace
But to scream at you for leaving me
And leaving them to stay
They say you’re always with me
Deep down I know they lie
Cause if you’re really here with me
I wouldn’t feel this way inside
I know there’s no heaven for you
Cause hell should be your home
Cause you left me in the dark
In a corner all alone
If only you could see your daughter cry
If only you could understand
If only you could just picture
My heart like grains of sand
The skeletons in my closet are begging
And I’m alone in the dark
I can’t go near them because of my pride
My life just seems so far
I can never say I love you
Because I never will
The thought of you saying you do
The thought just makes me ill
You’ve failed me as a father
And I’ll hate you for as long as I live
Sometimes I’m glad you’re dead
It’s the best you ever did
Sometimes I wish you were here with me
Cause I don’t have anyone else
You’re the one who understands these things
Understand the way I felt
No one here to walk me down the aisle
No one here to give me away
No one to protect me from the boys
No one to brighten a day
If you’ve left me anything to live with
You’ve left me pain and sorrow
If you could take one thing from me
You can take a Tomorrow
Love,
your daughter
