Remember
I remember when you packed up
and stacked the bags in the pick up
That night I curled up in a corner
I wore black like a mourner
I had dreams of us
You & ma got alone without a fuss
You held me and said daddy is here
and not going nowhere
There you cast away all my fears
When ever I feel no body cares
I remember and it gets me in tears
But it would never happen
No matter how much I pretend
But you know me
Better than any body
You mean to tell me
You never did anything wrong
You wasn’t there to sing a bed time song
All you did was never call on my birthday
All you did take care of us but hey
That’s nothing right
You think me & Joshua are nothing right
You never did nothing wrong right
NO
So you had to go
But you didn’t call me not even when I turned 6 years old
Now you acting like super dad
The thought alone gets me mad
You try to say if I don’t call you won’t call
So you think I care at all
What are you gonna do leave me
Walk away from me, It’s the reality
Go back where you came from
Because all you ever did was run
But I’m not going to lie. “Dad”
You wasn’t so bad
When acted like you
You was cool
You was caring, loving, funny, and understanding
That showed a lot to me
It showed me that you are a good person inside
You sometimes tend to hide
When you subside
What feeling are erupting inside
you mind
No matter what you say
Days from today
I will remember
The years I spent as your daughter
They are different
Daughter & Birth Child you hear it
Birth Child was when I would dream of you coming back
but you never tried to get in contact
Afraid of how I would react
Wondering I would attack
When all you subtract
me from you causing a greater impact
on my childhood
creating things I never understood
Daughter was when you taught me to dance
and when you took care of us
That’s why I’ll always give you a chance
For the good times
but I’ll always that about you all the time
