Daddy Daddy wasn't there
Cause daddy daddy didn't care
He left us broken on the floor
He didn't want us anymore
Being left like worn out dolls
Doesn't let you hear your friends, and family and their calls
Completely blocked from the cruel cruel world
And from people telling you that you're a pearl
Trying to get you back on your feet
So you dont miss, of life, a beat
He made us happy, He brought us joy
But when he left, He wasnt coy
And the tears that fall for him while I sleep
Are nothing compared to the tears my mother weep
Why He left I already know
And I hope for once he'll turn around and let his true emotions show
Though it does not make the pain go away
This is the one thing, to you, I have to say
Daddy Daddy you weren't there
Cause daddy daddy, truth be told, you didnt care.


The author's comments:
Hey guys, its my first time writing on here so im kinda new to this. basically I wrote this when I was thinking about my parents divorce, I was suppposed to be writing something for my english class and well this is the subject that I have the most emotions about. There is a lot more of a story behind this poem but its not such a fairytale tradgedy to say the least, in the end he doesnt come back. No matter how much my mother wants him to, he is still with that other woman. So quite frankly I dont want him back, he hasnt even tried to contact me or my brother in like 2 or 3 years now, so quite frankly this is what I'd send to him if I knew he'd give his time of day to read it or just care. Anyway tell me what you think.
