I'm seventeen years old and
Haven't seen my dad since 1996
He has a long history
Of broken promises and false hope
Never one to own up to his mistakes
Forever sliding down the same
Undignified *****
I know he's my father
But he'll always be a liar first
Promising he can heal this relationship
That's far too cursed
Convincing himself that money
Can buy my forgiveness
If he ever told me he loved me
That would be a story for the press
Michael Hill,
You missed your chance
To make up for the past
What a shame
It could have been different
If only you had asked
