What He Lost
I pick up the phone receiver to my ear
It comes as a surprise the voice that I hear
Today your not drunk, that's such a surprise
The words that I say bring tears to your eyes
Maybe for once it finally got through
Maybe you'll see life's not all about you
You say that you've changed your in rehab
Maybe now you might be a better dad?
You haven't changed, to me you're still the same
On everyone else you continue to place the blame
It was because of her you started to drink
But it was long before her when you started to sink
Sure I'm glad you cut it back one or two
But your always drinking no matter what you do
Still drinking a lot, never will you complete
Forever to suffer in your endless defeat
Lost in your drinking forever you'll be
But then again you've never really been a father to me
Your drinking, the lies all have one cost
A daughter I was, that daughter you lost.
Hey robin,
I know what its like to have a parent like that. My mother is also like this. All she cares about is herself. She was an alcoholic too. She did alot of stupid and hurtful shit to my family but yeah. To sum it up, I know what its like. I really do. Its soo hard but u gotta take a look around u and see that u have so many other people who love u and are there for u. I know no one can replace a father but we are here nonetheless. :) Cheer up girl! The poem is really good, which is no shock when u write em! hehe!
love a friend,
Sherry
heyhey! Well another poem that I felt each word I read I felt what you said. My father doesn't think he needs rehab.. what kind of joke is that? He's been drinkin before I was born... over 19 years!! I use to think he ruined my life and I had no future, I use to think that way about my mother too... But then I just changed my views about everything, sure I'm still sad and hurt at times, but the way they've treated me, lied to me, hurt me, yelled at me, kicked me out of my house having no where to go.... in the end it only made me stronger.
