3 years. That’s how long you were gone. 3 years, I had no mother, Though it still feels like I don’t. You don’t know me. My favorite color, Or my best friend. Don’t know the nights I cried, Depression twisting truths And spitting lies, All while you were away. 3 years, My father watched my grow, Helped me learn, And showed me love. All while you were away. Sometimes, You were simply behind a door, Typically locked, But when open, I wasn’t allowed in. If you can repeat any word, Or phrase You said to me, Those 3 years, That weren’t Manipulative Or Judgmental, Maybe, Though not likely, I’d forgive you. Forgive you for the 3 years I locked myself away.
