I miss you daddy.
I miss the time, the giggles, and the relationship we used to have,
I miss the feeling that daddy could swoop in and save me from anything,
I miss his jokes and carefree personality,
I miss the daddy I thought I knew.

I miss the man you used to be.
I don’t even recognize you these days,
All wrapped up in money,
All wrapped up in your mistakes,
Putting more energy into fighting with mom than being yourself.

Tell me daddy,
How am I ever supposed to trust a man,
When I can’t even trust you?

I know what you’ve done,
I know your mistakes,
All of which you have lied to me about,
How can you continue to do these things,
When you know you are destroying this family.

So no,
I don’t have “daddy issues”,
My daddy has the issues.
