Dear Father
• Written by Laura
Dear Father,
This is your daughter
Do you remember me
Remember how we would never meet
All because I was in the streets
Smoking tweak
Why didn't I retreat
I remember how I was always with you as a baby
But that bond started fading
And you always called me out when I was wrong
But I ignored you and went straight to the bong
And before long
You and mom didn't get along
And I felt like I didn't belong
But many years ago
I found out that you were gone
And I didn't think this was real
Because I thought that one day we would be able to reseal
I would always scream
Waking up it was never a dream
And for this there is no vaccine
Drugs began to intervene
I was in pain
I was going insane
So why did you leave
It wasn't just me
You did wrong too
You always had something up your sleeve
What happened to us dad
What happened to the love we once had
Losing you had a great impact
Remember the last time I saw you
It was your birthday
And I go into your house hoping to see you there
But I saw other things on the table as well
I didn't care if you were using
I wanted to be with you
But we had to go
I couldn't stand seeing you like that
And as we walked out
You last words were
"Please don't go"
How do you expect us to stay
You did it anyway
You thought that it wasn't going to happen this way
I didn't even get to say goodbye
All because I was busy getting high
How did I survive
Why am I alive
I did you wrong too
Daughter like father huh?
I'm sorry dad
That it had to happen this way
I regret it to this day
I wish I could repay
But now your long gone
I will always have you in my heart
I just want us to restart
But now its just a lesson
Now I have to go through all this tension
But all this does is strengthen
Love,
Your daughter
The one who lost her father
This is Laura
