I'll never forget
When I was sent to bed
And woke up to change.
You were gone
Along with all of your things.
I thought it was my fault
That you left us all
...for two whole days.
When I saw you again
In your brand new house
It was still different
And even now when I see you
With every chance I get,
I still miss you.

When I found
The empty cigarette boxes
In the back of your car
And uncovered all your cheap lies
She said you were a bad influence.
When you never came
To all the things that were important
And you talked bad behind our backs
She said you didn’t love us.
But I knew that that was wrong.
And even now when your still never here,
I still need you.

When I am right in front of you
You only worry about the things
That never mattered
And while you think I’m not around
I can hear the disappoint.
Even when you show no effort or love
I still aim to please you.
She says that you don’t matter
But there’s a reason I don’t turn to her
She doesn’t understand the things I get from you.
I am so much like you
In so many good and bad ways
But you only see what isn’t your.
I know that you both love the others more than me.
But I still miss you,
I still need you,
I still love you,
Dad
