dad
Over the years you've been gone
I would think it gets easier
To hear your name or see your picture
The realization that you've been gone so long
It never really sinks in
The pain you caused, and the hurt i felt
You didn't care about us
We where just an inconviniance
The days the weeks we spent with you
It was because you had to
The happy moments that where few and far between
Where only clouded out by the bad times
You said you loved us but to you love is just a word
You casued more trouble than anyhting else
It's been almost 14 years i've gone without you
And that i think is a blessing
For there are far more years to come
For me to prove i am twice the man you where
I will never hit my wife or my kids
I will love my family because to me love is more than a word
For i am better than you
And you are nothing to me
But i miss you i can't help it
You where my dad and now your nothing
but a bad fadded memory
wow josh this is really deep this is powerful man i love reading your poems even when they are not all happy they are powerful
i know that its hard and over time it will still hurt but remember im always here for a sholder and i can already tell you that you are better then your dad you alreayd have kids who love you and a girl who loves you so much and you are to gental to sweet to be able to hit anyone you care about. im so sorry for all the pain that your dad has caused on you if i could take away your pain forever i would give everything to do it for you i wish you had a life with out pain but then you would not be the guy you are today you would not be as senstive and as wonderful as you are if the things throw your life didnot shape you
i wish i could wipe a way all your pain not just your tears but i can all i can do is be here for you when you need someone and listen to you when you need to talk and DONT WORRIE you dont sounds like an "old record" as you said before i dont care how many times you talk about it if it buggs you or if its on your mind i want you to talk to me about it
i love you baby
