The mess you made? I was left to clean. I scrubbed it spotless, While you skipped 3,000 miles Like a rotten fiend.
You’re a shadow of the man I thought you were-- Or who I had hoped you were, at least.
Every good deed you’ve done Has been thrown back in my face As proof of your love. While every mistake I made You never forgave.
Consider these my parting words Because, finally, I’m done
I can’t take the constant abuse. The emptiness I feel has no use. Forever ******* By life’s vicious wheel Of misfortune.
I hope you’re happy with your new life That's not any part of mine.
Since I’ve been such an awful daughter it’s not a huge loss now, is it?
Didn’t think you’d admit it.
But I’m far better than you, you see-- I gave you countless chances And let you back in.
I believed that you changed, But you proved me wrong.
I wish you well, I really do.
No matter what you may think, Part of me will always love you. You’re my father, my blood, after-all.
But you left me, So why wouldn’t anyone else? I play that game constantly with myself- Shut down. Turn off.
When it comes to relationships, It’s living hell To get the real me To come out of this hardened shell That you helped me build. Quite a lonely guild.
I’ll fight every urge to mistrust men, But walking down the wedding isle My arm will bend With no hand to hold. I’ll face the world alone-- Exactly the way you left me, The way you wanted it.
This is everything you asked for, isn’t it?
So I’ll be the bigger person for one last time: I wish you well; Goodbye.
