You were my first broken heart
I don’t know what was the start
I called out to you
You didn’t hear
I wanted you to love me
But here I am shedding another tear
Why do I have to beg for you?
When all that is left of you is a distant memory
I’m sick of hurting alone but it’s what I do
You were my first broken promise
I’m going to be honest
You taught me how to close my heart
If I stopped caring, I wouldn’t feel the hurt
You are why I don’t want to have a daughter
I can’t protect her from the hurt people like you can cause her
I don’t want her to see the world for the dark place it is
And the people for the selfish beings they are
You were my first disappointment
Sometimes people hurt others for their own enjoyment
I don’t want her to feel the pain of trusting someone
Then watching them walk away
Or the pain that can come from wondering why
Why she wasn’t good enough for the people that she…
Would have never given up on
You were my first dead end
I needed a love that wasn’t just pretend
I’ve tried to trust you and be fair
With everything I was, I tried not to care
But I couldn’t
I can’t
You were my first loss of innocence
Isn’t that such a coincidence?
I’ve followed a path of destruction
The one you paved for me
It doesn’t matter what I say
Regardless, you’ll still walk away
You were my First…
You are My First…
Thanks for being my First Dad
