I Don't Know Your Name

I don't know who you are,
And nor do I care to.
You never cared to know me either,
You only wanted to talk about the big and bad you.

You didn't care to call on my birthdays,
Or Thanksgiving or even Christmas.
The only time you reached out,
Was only when you wanted to seem as if..
You were a father,
The "#1" dad.
Always saving the world,
But when it came to saving me all I got was, "too bad".
Or, "save yourself",
Until that pain became enough.

I decided I'd had too much,
I was done with all the lies.
You didn't care about how I felt,
You only want to see me cry.
And now I'm gone,
And you're no where to be found.
Last time I heard from you was graduation,
522 days gone round.

Don't bother be here now,
Obviously I'm doing fine without you.

The shows over,
So if you're looking for more,
Take a good look in the mirror and know,
That man isn't a man,
It's a coward you see.

I don't know that man,
I don't know how we're the same,
I don't know what he's like,
And I won't ever know his name.

I haven't thought about you in a while, but today I did. And I wish I could just forget every memory I have of you.
