In 1988 at lake murray we took a boat ride. Our feelings we kept secret inside. You didn't support me, you weren't by my side. You moved away, and in 2009 you died. I missed you & I cried. Staying together couldn't be buyed. Having fun without you was lied. Divorce was a knot never untied. A relationship that could'nt last. Not since the curse was cast. A love severed so fast. Regrets & pain fill our past. Ourselves, our lives & what made us who. Memories so far & few. Why did you have to go to Sedona? Why didn't you stay in California? Instead you moved to Arizona. I never believed you really would. I didn't make the time I really should. I guess we had a chance. But it wasn't a simple dance. At your photograph I often glance. My thoughts of you are mostly sad. I never really got to have you for a dad. My past childhood makes me mad. The few memories feel glad. Things happen that are bad. There's more things I wish we had. Occasionally I get an awful feeling. A need for a peculiar dealing. I need closure with a sealing. My spirit got cracked & has peeling. I guess I need soul healing. I used to have so much hope. I never could handle abandonment & cope.
