Why did you leave
A little kid with no hope?
A little kid afraid to believe?
A man slowly nearing the end of his rope?

You were gone by the time I was two.
I never got to feel your touch.
I feel like I would have been better with you
But unfortunately in that I was asking too much.

Why couldn't you stay?
Why did you have to go away?
Over you I shed many a tear.
Because of you my head is never clear.

I sometimes wake in the middle of the night
Screaming your name
Hoping you will come back and make it all right
But the next day I always feel so much same.

Maybe it is time I bid you a due
For  I truly never needed you.
