I remember the day you were born,
Your tiny body, hands, and feet
It felt like the lotto I just won
Like I could never feel defeat

You were my love, my life, my world
As your tiny hand grasped my finger
To me you were worth more than gold
For you I would pull the trigger

Me and your mom did not work out
But it was not your fault
Too fast, too young, too deep
Quickly we had to try to be adults

Things got dark
No matter how hard I tried
No matter what I did
Somehow, to you I died

I called and text daily
for so long with no reply
A one way conversation
It made me want to die

I fought so hard and long
a battle I will never win
It's been years since I last saw you
Who knows when that will happen again

I pour my heart out in a letter
To which you never replied
No call, no text, or even e mail
My heart let out a cry

Now you want nothing to do with
I have done nothing wrong to you
I will never win this fight
I never really even had you

Your sister is so angry
your brother doesn't really know
Your relationship is damaged
I doubt it will ever grow

You ignored not only me
but your entire family
Your mother won in court
now were living in the street

I hurts my heart to say this
But no matter what I do
But if I never see you
I know it won't bother you

I can dream that your my daughter
But the reality I see
Your vision of me is jaded
My daughter I never get to see.
