Oh father,

I was only five when you left.
You had to define yourself.
But you never paid for your theft.
You weren't sure what you were.
So you hid and took cover.
Coward, I still think you don't know the effect,
The effect of what you did.
You hurt my mother, brother and I.
I used to sit and cry.
When you broke your promises.
I try not to reflect back on this.
Because then I just end up feeling like,
A real father figure is something I missed!
You shouldn't have promised, If you weren't going to be there.
Oh father, Why did you act like you didn't care?
The tears I've cried for you are all gone.
But still, it's you that I sometimes frown apon.
Your same old lines, the same old game.
No father, no ammount of money could have bought my love.
You hurt my mother, the worst, all of thee above!
She gave you her love,support and time.
You took it for granted.
You used her for a mask.
Why did you have to use someone like that?
That's what I have to ask.
why couldn't you except yourself from early on?
Did you think that what you were was wrong?
How many tears have fallen?
Between my mother, brother and I.
From you replenishing cornicopia of lies.
Well your free now, Please father, fly as high as you want.
I have grown older, I don't really need you anymore.
If you didn't want to be a real father,
then why did you have kids for?
I bet you burn inside,that unlike you I didn't have to lie.
I didn't have to hide behind a sharade a mask.
Why didn't you return my call? now you ask.
The tables have turned,
It is now your turn to get burned.
Like father like son they say.
In this case It didn't turn out that way.
Its more like father unlike son.
Cause' I'm never going to hurt someone like you have done!
From this early age, I am open about who I am.
And you my dear father,
are suffering from the backlash of your sham!
