hurt

HURT

I love you, Daddy

You are my hero

I love you, Daddy

Oh Daddy

You are my number one

But,

I never knew

Did I?

Not even a vague memory

Mum said you left when I was six months old

Who separates a marriage with a six months old baby?

I have your pictures

You were always in glasses

I wear your clothes sometimes

Mum tells me to stop

She gets too upset when I ask of you

So I stopped asking

Would you tell me I was wrong?

Would you take the pain away?

Sometimes I want to hold you

But I knew you won’t be there

Oh I’m sorry for crying in the middle of the night and making you and Mum quarrel

For everything I just couldn’t do

And I hurt so bad

Do you know how it feels to know,

To know when your friends tell you

“Dad’s making barbecue today”

I miss you so badly

I wish you to tell you things

You know, that father figure to have

I wish to tell you about my bad days

And the good days too

The time of pain from bullies

To have someone tell me

“I love you, Mike”

But,

Its never going to happen

I miss you Daddy

And I love you

Forever and for always

Your son,

Mike
