Wither

I still remember the good times,
They just all seemed to have passed me by.
Late night stories, took away my worry and
Long, fun walks made me as a hawk;
Flying: free, high, and wild;
I truly was a happy child
But you have taken it all away,
And in its place, you have left pain.
So now I sit here all alone,
As you have left me; in the cold.
You took away that innocence,
And forced me to build up an iron fence.
People try to tear it down;
They try to help me get around,
But I can’t because of you
And everything you’ve put me through.
I am left here now, torn in pieces;
Hurt and alone, can’t you see it?
It would be so easy to help me out,
But I know you won’t try to, without a doubt.
So I’ll just learn to live this way,
While you stand by and watch me wither away,
Day by day, I will continue to fade,
The whole time you thinking, “She’s okay.”

My dad has pretty much been an awful dad. We used to have something special but it is all gone now and it inspired me to write this.
