Time to Fast...Dad

By: Yuvelky I Diaz

I Sit here wondering why yu Left
aNd you don't want to be a part Of My life.
I don't know what happened between you and mom
but that was no reasOn 4 you not to take part in My life.

I want 2 meet you, I want to see you
but I can't ever find you.
and I blame myself for just being me.

There are times when I wish I could call out, "Dad"
and hear a deep voice replying, "Yes, sweety"
Because there are so many things that have happened
And, yet, you weren't there...

So many things that could have changed
but no, you didn't appear.
Mom says so many things about you
but i never know if they're true.
They aren't even good things, yet,
i stay helpless without a clue.

How you walked out and said, "she's not mine."
and never came back ever since.
But if you come back now and show me your side
I promise I will forgive.

I'm not that bad of a daughter, I swear I'm not.
sometimes mommy loves me- well, she forgot.
I'm tired of kneeling, always praying, "Just one day,
to see you," ever since i was 2.

Now I'm 17 and nothing has changed about me
I still want to know you.
But what can I do if a father
doesn't want to take his place.
Leaving the "father boxes" blank
(just spaces to waste).

But, I guess I have to give up now,
it's been 15 years without you,
For you to have the audacity
to come through.

Part 2-

I met you not So lOng ago,
NOw I knOw where I got these things.
From you, it made me smile because of
the things you said.
Now I understood your story, I guess your're not to blame.
But still, "15 yrs, dad? Everything's not the same.

We look identical,
yeah, we acted the same.
Man, that sucks
I couldn't have your last name.

You understood me when evryone else was confused.
and the days I told you I hate you
I forgot to tell u it wasn't true.

But now I can't do nuthing becus God took you away.
And it's been a year, Dad
can't believe you passed away.......


R.I.P Daddy ily Dad
