Daddy

Your love, care and attention
That’s all I needed from you
All I ever wanted was your affection
And for you to hug me, that’s all you had to do

Do you even remember me?
Am I just another one of your mistakes?
The one you never want to see
Do I hold place in your heart?
We share the same blood, don’t we?

It hurts that I’ll never know why you reject me
I’m the only one hurting from this, you know it’s true
Don’t try to disagree
You have two children of your own that need you
But what about me? Don’t I need you too?

When the world seems to be against me
That’s when I need you most
But where are you?

I will never be free
Free from the pain and questions that ponder my mind
Questions that will never be answered
I don’t need you anymore
But I’ll still always wonder what it’s like to call someone “Dad”
