Goodbye Daddy
Saying goodbye, 
 even though I didn't know where he was 
 going. 
 Feeling as if that he would come 
 back, 
 me in some state of
 denial.
 Knowing him saying that it would be better for the both of
 us. 
 Even though I knew he was only thinking of 
 himself.
 He didn't leave to find a better job, or go to school, 
 he left to follow 
 her.
 He said I was his world and I 
 believed him.
 But, not 
 anymore.
 But to think I was so happy 
 when he finally came 
 back.
 He stayed here for a while 
 and just when I thought he would never
 leave again, 
 hes leaving next month.
 Now I must put on a strong face, 
 to do this all over again,
 to walk up to him tears stinging my eyes,
 but carefully not letting them fall,
 to say once more "Goodbye Daddy."
