Lies of a Father
After all youāve put me through
I didnāt think that I would be crying for you.
Crying for all the moments we could have had
but since you left Iāve been forced to live them on my own.
Now and then I wonder what it would feel like
To have you home with me
To love me and cherish meĀ
Like all good fatherās should.
All of my life Iāve tried to please
A you that wasnāt there,
Hoping that one dayĀ
You would come back home.
Iām afraid that I already know the truth
Youāll never be coming back home
No matter how much I try to deny it
Iām starting to see what everyone else sees in you
And itās not a good thing.
In my dreams I see you
Holding me, as if youāve always done so
And telling me how much you missed me
While I cry a river of tears
As I wake in reality
The truth hits meĀ
A sharp slap to the face
Reminding me it was all a dream
I never thought the truth could hurt so much
Never thought a father could lie to his only daughter
I never thought any of this until I saw you
Now I know for certainĀ
That the truth is a really harsh thing to face
And no matter what you do,
or what you say,
Nothing will ever erase the truth.

Dear Allanna, this really hits a soft spot in my heart, i have two beautiful daughters, and an amazing son, my oldest daughter once said to me, why won't he love me, its like i shouldn't have been born, it ripped my heart out, to hear her say that, but i could see how their dad treated them, i felt their sorrow and heartache, as i feel your pain through this emotional piece, i hope in not out of line, or upset you in any way, in saying so, i wish you well, you sound like an amazing strong woman, never believe otherwise, you are important, much love to you sweetie, nardine xoxo
Thank you Nardine for such wonderfully kind words! I'm sorry to hear that yourĀ children are going to feel what I felt. I'm sure they're amazing kids. I have one request though. As they grow make sure they don't harbor any resentful feelings towards their father. Teach them to accept the truth yet still respect that they have a father. Don't worry though all their love will be centered on you. As you are the stronghold in their life who will never let them down :)
xoxo Allanna
