This one's for you dad.

Way to go. You're about to abandon me Again. I can't believe I'm surprised After everything you've put me through All the tears that went to waste crying over you All the years I spend practically dying because of you You fucked me up. Do you understand that you are a DRUG ADDICT? Do you know that you used up all of our money on you? Not your wife Not your kids But on you Do you understand that hitting me left permanent bruises? Do you know how it feels when your own father tells you that he doesn't love you? It makes her want to die Its because of you I started cutting my skin I've wasted more blood on you than tears dad I drank until I blacked out, all for you I got raped when i was 14 because of you My first experience with sex was a mix of alcohol and tears Where the fuck were you? All the drugs I've taken The Xanax, the weed, the coke, the acid and whatever else I swallowed or snorted or smoked To get you out of my fucking head All the eviction notices All the loss All your fault. You made me wan't to die You hurt me so much i wanted to not exist anymore Then you moved away and didn't speak to me Left the crazy girl to die Insane Broken. Used up. Out of life. You came back eventually But its not you anymore Where is the man who used to called me his little princess I've become a woman without you After all of that, i still have a relationship with the man who calls himself my "father" But blood obviously means nothing to me I am the only one who still loves you I don't get it. You're leaving again. So way. to. go.
